Copper–zinc oxide heterostructure photocathodes for hydrogen and methanol production

Copper–zinc oxide heterostructure photocathodes for hydrogen and methanol production

Low activity and a short lifetime are the main weaknesses of photocatalysts. The photoactivity of copper oxide, which is known as one of the most promising materials for H2 evolution and CO2 reduction, can be improved by coupling with other semiconductors. This effect is based on a mutual charge tra...
