Potential window alignment regulating ion transfer in faradaic junctions for efficient photoelectrocatalysis.

ABSTRACT: In the past decades, a band alignment theory has become a basis for designing different high-performance semiconductor devices, such as photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, photoelectrostorage and third-generation photovoltaics. Recently, a faradaic junction model (coupled electron and ion transfer) has been proposed to explain charge transfer phenomena in these semiconductor heterojunctions. However, the classic band alignment theory cannot explain coupled electron and ion transfer processes because it only regulates electron transfer. Therefore, it is very significant to explore a suitable design concept for regulating coupled electron and ion transfer in order to improve the performance of semiconductor heterojunctions. Herein, we propose a potential window alignment theory for regula
