Solar water oxidation is considered as a promising method for efficient utilization of solar energy and bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) is a potential photoanode. Catalyst loading on BiVO4 is often used to tackle the limitations of charge recombination and sluggish kinetics. In this study, amorphous nickel...
