Photoelctrochemical (PEC) Water Splitting and Hydrogen Generation Using III-Nitride Nanowire Arrays
We study the design, epitaxial growth, and characterization of multi-band InGaN nanowire heterostructures and the solar power driven photocatalytic reaction.
PEC water splitting is recognized as one of the key sustainable technologies to provide an environmentally friendly solution to the worldwide energy crisis since it directly converts solar energy into hydrogen: a carbon-free, affordable and sustainable source of energy.
