Photosynthesis is nature's route to convert intermittent solar irradiation into storable energy,
while its use for an industrial energy supply is impaired by low efficiency. Artificial …

The integration of III–V semiconductors with Si has been pursued for more than 25 years
since it is strongly desired in various high-efficiency applications ranging from …

Electrode/electrolyte interfaces play a crucial role in many electrochemical energy
conversion and storage technologies. Hence, a deep understanding of the interfacial …

Dissociative water adsorption on a GaAs (100) surface is demonstrated using X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) carried out in situ under near-ambient conditions. These …

We investigate the structure, topology, and dynamics of liquid water at the interface with
natively hydroxylated (001) surfaces of InP and GaP photoelectrodes. Using ab initio …

Several types of metal electrodes (especially copper) can catalyze electrochemical CO2
reduction. Among semiconductor electrodes for CO2 photoelectroreduction, GaP electrodes …

We report the results of total-energy density functional theory and ab initio molecular
dynamics simulations of (001) surfaces of InP and GaP in contact with gas-phase and liquid …

Many energy storage and conversion devices rely on processes that take place at complex
interfaces, where structural and chemical properties are often difficult to probe under …

Semiconductors designated for solar water-splitting need to be simultaneously stable and
efficient in the charge transfer over the interface to the aqueous electrolyte. Although InP …

Water adsorption and dissociation on a GaP (111) crystal surface are investigated using
near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP XPS) in a wide range of …
