Primary Corrosion Processes for Polymer-Embedded Free-Standing or Substrate-Supported Silicon Microwire Arrays in Aqueous Alkaline Electrolytes

Kathleen M. Kennedy et al.

Summary: Solar fuel devices have shown potential as a sustainable source of chemical fuels, but the long-term stability of light absorbing materials presents a significant barrier. Research has identified multiple corrosion pathways for TiO2-protected Si microwire arrays in a polymer membrane in 1 M KOH(aq), whether attached to a substrate or free-standing.

Summary: The use of GaAs nanowire arrays as photoanodes in solar-driven water oxidation demonstrates long-term stability and efficiency, highlighting the benefits of discretized absorbers on insulating substrates. This approach offers a promising strategy to transform unstable absorbers into defect-tolerant, corrosion-resistant photoanodes.
