A novel photoelectrocatalytic approach for water splitting by an I-BiOCl/bipolar membrane sandwich structure

A novel photoelectrocatalytic approach for water splitting through an I-BiOCl/bipolar membrane sandwich structure with photoelectro- synergistic catalysis is proposed in this study. The I-BiOCl/bipolar membrane sandwich structure could facilitate separation of photoexcited electrons and holes, thereby promoting the splitting of water, increasing the efficiency of H-2 generation and saving energy consumption.
