Abstract

Uniformly cut In2O3 truncated octahedrons are fabricated on a large scale by a simple chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. This theoretical analysis predicts that the emergence of {100} facets on the In2O3 truncated octahedrons enhances oxygen evolution significantly in photocatalysis and experimental photoelectrochemical measurements are consistent.
