Water-splitting requires interfacing high-quality semiconductors that absorb sunlight with efficient electrocatalysts that facilitate multi-electron fuel-forming reactions. I will present our recent progress at the University of Oregon in (1) developing low-cost, scalable, atmospheric-pressure vapor-transport routes to deposit high-quality III-V semiconductor light-absorbers, (2) understanding and optimizing oxygen-evolution electrocatalyst films of multi-component first-row transition metal oxides and hydroxides, and (3) using theory, simulation, and direct electrical measurements to describe the critical details of charge transport across electrocatalyst-semiconductor interfaces.
