Improving the charge diffusion length and water oxidation kinetics of bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) is essential to achieve better photoelectrochemical catalytic ability for water oxidation. Establishing heterojunctions and incorporating co-catalysts with BiVO4 create facile charge transfer paths and gen...
