Description:
Article Metal oxide semiconductors are promising materials for solar energy capture but can suffer from stability problems. Here, the authors present a methodology for evaluating corrosion mechanisms and apply it to BiVO 4 , revealing chemical instabilities that are not predicted from thermodynamic considerations alone.
