Funded Activity Summary

Anodisation methods and materials for solar water splitting. This project aims to convert and chemically store solar energy as hydrogen. Photoactive materials could harness solar energy. With fabrication methods, these thin films often suffer from poor charge transport and stability, hindering their wider application. Fabrication by anodization could potentially overcome these problems. This project will develop thin film fabrication methods based on anodization that synthesise robust, nanostructured films with efficient compositions and structures. This will lead to photoelectrodes for efficient solar hydrogen generation, crucial for a sustainable energy future. It will also develop general design principles for photoelectrodes for devices.
