Abstract
We report a light-induced oxyhydroxides-alloy heterostructure reconfigured from a nickel-iron alloy film as a highly catalytic and protective layer on photoanodes for solar water oxidation. The optimized photoanodes exhibit a high applied bias photon-to-current efficiency of 4.24% and long-term stability beyond 250 hours, outperforming the closest competitors by 330% in efficiency and 408% in stability, respectively. This self-generated catalytic-protective oxyhydroxides-alloy layer coating strategy opens the way to implementing large scalable photoelectrochemical devices for solar fuel production with high efficiency and device lifetime.
