APTES‐Mediated Ti‐Squarate MOF/n‐GaN Nanowire Photoanodes for Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The APTES linker establishes a permanent interfacial dipole, reducing the work function of n‐GaN from 3.55 to 3.29 eV. This strengthens the built‐in electric field, significantly accelerating hole extraction to drive the oxygen evolution reaction (OER).
