Popis: Cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) is a promising photoelectrode material for solar water splitting due to its relatively small band gap (2.36 eV) and its ideal energy band positions that straddle the water redox potentials. However, despite various coupled oxygen-evolution-reaction (OER) cocatalysts, it commonly exhibits a much smaller photocurrent (Funding Agencies|Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsradet)Swedish Research Council [2018-04670, 202004400]; Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences and Spatial Planning (FORMAS)Swedish Research Council Formas [2016-00559]; Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education (STINT) [CH2016-6722]; AForsk foundation [19-311]
