Abstract

A novel dual photoabsorber interface: perovskite oxynitride (SrNb0₂N) deposited on silicon (100), and a H₂ER catalyst photoabsorber interface: (Ni₅P₄ or Ni₂P)-silicon, are fabricated. Titanium nitride (TiN) is introduced as a blocking layer between Sr₂Nb:0₇ and Si (100), which produces clean interfaces. During the high temperature ammonolysis step needed to convert Sr₂Nb₂0₇ to SrNb0₂N, it is effective at blocking Nb and Si (but not Sr) migration. A half-cell cathode with the H2ER catalyst (Ni5P4 or Ni2P)-photoabsorber interface produces H2 approaching best-in-class overpotentials for films (N15P4: 211mV vs RHE at 10mV/cm²) with a 50mV/decade Tafel slope. Films are atomically smooth, except for surface phosphate that is removed during electrolysis.
