Triclinic iron vanadate (n-type FeVO4) thin films were fabricated for the first time by spray pyrolysis and elucidated as a potential photoanode material for solar water oxidation. FeVO4 has an ideal band gap for a photoanode of ∼2.0 eV, which corresponds to a potential solar-to-hydrogen (STH) effic...
