Novel CaBi6O10 films were prepared via a simple dip-coating method and applied as a photoanode in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting for the first time. Herein, the detailed growth mechanism of CaBi6O10 has been discussed. The optical absorption of CaBi6O10 was also investigated, and the res...
