Abstract

To improve the photocatalytic performance of KNbO₃ for the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen, the electronic structure of KNbO₃ should be modified to have a suitable bandgap with band edge positions straddling the water redox level so as to sufficiently absorb visible light.
