Roser Fernández‐Climent, Sixto Giménez, Miguel García‐Tecedor
Abstract
The present topical review aims to summarize the role of oxygen vacancies on four of the most studied semiconducting thin film oxides (BiVO<sub>4</sub>, Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, TiO<sub>2</sub> and WO<sub>3</sub>) as photoanodes for solar water splitting.
