Energy-Conversion Properties of Vapor-Liquid-Solid–Grown Silicon Wire-Array Photocathodes
Abstract
Silicon Microwires as Photocathodes: Solar hydrogen generation will require the development of photocathodes with high surface area, durability, and efficiency. Silicon microwire arrays, which allow for greater light penetration, could achieve this goal if the carrier mobilities are sufficiently high so that surface reactions occur before charges recombine. Boettcher et al. (p. 185 ) report the electronic properties on positively doped silicon microwire arrays that were grown with copper catalysts and used in a methyl viologen redox system. Although equivalent efficiencies for normal solar fluxes were only 2 to 3%, the high internal efficiencies and low use of the available optical flux suggest that further improvements are possible.

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.
