Abstract

Particulate Ta ₃ N ₅ , a material that responds to visible light for photoelectrochemical O ₂ evolution, was glued to a metallic GaN conducting layer. The electrode was able to oxidize water with 1.8-fold higher efficiency than that without GaN. The GaN layer blocked the hole current from Ta ₃ N ₅ to the back-contact metal layer and prevented hole-electron recombination.
