A BiVO4 photoanode was combined with bioinspired Mn4O4-cubane, which has a structure and composite similar to those of the oxygen-evolving complex (Mn4CaO5) in photosystem II. The hybrid photoanode exhibited a lower onset potential and higher photocurrent than the pristine photoanode because of the faster kinetics of the reaction and reduced rate of recombination of the carriers.
一种 BiVO4 光阳极与仿生 Mn4O4 立方烷结合,其结构和复合材料与光合作用 II 系统中的氧释放复合物(Mn4CaO5)相似。由于反应动力学更快,载流子复合率降低,与原始光阳极相比,该混合光阳极的起始电位更低,光电流更高。
