Abstract

Abstract : Solar Water Oxidation In article number 2103698, James R. Durrant and co‐workers design organic bulk‐heterojunction photoanodes with a polymer overlayer for solar water oxidation. The additional polymer layer improves underwater operational stability and suppresses recombination losses. Employing these photoanodes, solar water oxidation under near‐infrared irradiation is demonstrated with an incident photon‐to‐current efficiency up to 25% at 770 nm illumination.
