represents a promising approach to manipulate the interactions
between light and matter through the design of material
structures. This study introduces a novel ordered inverse opal
photonic crystal (IOPC) sensitized with perovskite quantum dots
(PQDs), demonstrating its efficacy for efficient visible-lightdriven
H2 generation via water splitting. The rational structural
design contributes to enhanced light harvesting. The sensitization
of the IOPC with PQDs improves optical response performance
and enhances photocatalytic H2 generation under visible
light irradiation compared to the IOPC alone. The designed
photoanode exhibits a photocurrent density of 3.42 mAcm Keywords:Hydrogen production, inverse opals, perovskite, quantum dots, photocatalysts, photonic crystals Affiliations:| Nwaji N. | - | IPPT PAN | | Hyojin K. | - | other affiliation | | Birhanu Bayissa G. | - | other affiliation | | Osial M. | - | IPPT PAN | | Vapaavuori J. | - | other affiliation | | Lee J. | - | Lexington High School (US) | | Giersig M. | - | IPPT PAN |
