Description
Summary:Bio‐Inspired Light‐Trapping Nano‐Structures With the assistance of the photothermal field on sunflower‐like honeycomb, the kinetics of water‐splitting is improved through the construction of bio‐inspired light‐trapping heterostructures with sunflower‐like honeycomb. The unique light‐trapping structure has high solar photothermal conversion efficiency according finite difference time domain (FDTD) results. Meanwhile, the density functional theory (DFT) results reveals that the modulated surface electron density of hybrid heterostructures could optimize the free energies of various intermediates. More details can be found in article number 2205431 by Meng Li and co‐workers.
