Theoretical understanding of water splitting by analyzing nanocatalyst photoabsorption spectra by Gollapalli Prince, Caspary Toroker Maytal

“…In a photoelectrochemical cell used for water splitting, the surface states of optically and chemically dominant species affect the catalysts’ performance. For instance, the signature of the dominant absorption peak at 580 nm in the observed spectra of Fe2O3 photoanode can shed light on the oxygen evolution reaction mechanism since each reaction intermediate affects the absorption spectrum, and the absorption coefficient in turn affects the photocurrent. …”
