Importance of surface oxygen vacancies for ultrafast hot carrier relaxation and transport in Cu_{2}O

Cu_{2}O has appealing properties as an electrode for photoelectrochemical water splitting, yet its practical performance is severely limited by inefficient charge extraction at the interface. Using hybrid DFT calculations, we investigate carrier capture processes by oxygen vacancies (V_{O}) in the e...
