摘要
To improve the water splitting performance of photoelectrode,Wang's group borrowed the lithiation mechanism of Li-ion battery to create ordered lattice strain in the electrode.The stressed lattice induced by Li-jon inser-tion generates a polarized electric field in the bulk,which greatly improves the bulky charge separation and transfer capability and remarkably promotes the photoelectrocatalytic water splitting.This work paves a new avenue for photo electrochemical water splitting towards efficient solar hydrogen production.The related work was published in Nature Communications on May 1,2020.
