Abstract
interface and suppression of charge recombination in the photoanode, which are confirmed by the transient decay time, charge transfer efficiency and electrochemical impedance analysis. Our findings demonstrate the importance of nanostructure engineering for developing heterojunction structures with efficient charge transfer dynamics.
