Solar Light Driven Pure Water Splitting on Quantum Sized BiVO4 without any Cocatalyst
Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting is the most promising process to convert solar energy into high purity chemical fuel (hydrogen), which has received significant attention in recent years. Only several photocatalysts have been reported in the literature for pure water splitting under visible light. Herein we report for the first time quantum sized BiVO 4 can decompose pure water into H 2 and O 2 simultaneously under simulated solar light irradiation without any cocatalysts or sacrificial reagents. By electrochemical measurement, we demonstrate that the significantly different photocatalytic activity of the quantum sized BiVO 4 arises from the negative shift of conduction band edge by a quantum confinement effect and a decreased overpotential for water reduction. Although the generated H 2 and O 2 are nonstoichiometric in the present study, these findings establish the great potential of using quantum sized BiVO 4 photocatalyst and solar energy for overall water splitting.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
