  • an electron can move from a given valence band (VB) to a given conduction (CB) (e.g., excitation through absorption of light), the electron will be restrained from spontaneously moving back to the VB, as the spontaneous emission of a photon that is typically associated with such a move from the CB to the VB would be at a frequency that is restricted due to the material's photonic band gap.
  • the electron can remain in the CB for a longer period of time, which can result in use of said electron to split water rather than moving back to its VB (i.e., the electron-hole pair remains in existence for a longer period of time).
  • co-catalyst electrically conductive material deposited on the photoactive material, provides for a more efficient use of the excited electrons in water-splitting applications.

  • a molecular precursor can be infiltrated into the pores of the hard template and subsequently polymerized within the pores of the hard template at elevated temperatures. Then the hard template can be removed by a suitable method. This nanocasting route is advantageous because no cooperative assembly processes between the template and the precursors are needed.
