“…Therefore, techniques that can improve the quantum efficiency (QE) of the photocatalytic reactions for eqn (1) and ( 2) are important for highefficiency water splitting. I 3 À /I À (+0.55 V vs. RHE), 17,19 Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ (+0.77 V vs. RHE), 21,22 VO 2 + /VO 2+ (+1.00 V vs. RHE), 23 and IO 3 À /I À (+1.09 V vs. RHE) 10,[12][13][14][15]18,24 have been reported as reversible redox ions that utilize eqn (1) and (2). With respect to stability, cost, and redox potential, Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ is an excellent redox mediator.…”
