Keywords:PEC water splitting, compound semiconductor thin film, effect(s) of surface modification

Our group has significant interests to p-type chalcogenide compounds for their potential applications as photocathode materials for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting using sunlight energy. In this presentation, I would like to introduce our recent results on PEC water splitting using chalcopyrite (CuInS₂) and Kesterite (Cu₂ZnSnS₄) thin films.
