The band edge positions of semiconductors determine functionality in solar water splitting. While ligand exchange is known to enable modification of the band structure, its crucial role in water splitting efficiency is not yet fully understood. Here, ligand-engineered manganese oxide cocatalyst nanoparticles (MnO NPs) on bismuth vanadate (BiVO<sub>4</sub>) anodes are first demonstrated, and a remarkably enhanced photocurrent density of 6.25 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> is achieved. It is close to 85% of t ...[more]
