Popis: Summary: Thin semiconductors attract huge interest due to their cost-effective, flexible, lightweight, and semi-transparent properties. Here, we present a protocol on the preparation of thin semiconductor via controlled crack-assisted layer exfoliation technique. The protocol details the fabrication procedure for producing thin monocrystalline semiconductors with thicknesses in the range of a few tens of micrometers from thick donor substrates. In addition, we describe proof-of-concept application of the thin semiconductors for photoelectrochemical water-splitting to produce hydrogen fuel.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lee et al. (2021).
