Germanium is a small-gap semiconductor that efficiently absorbs visible light, resulting in photoexcited electrons predicted to be sufficiently energetic to reduce H 2 O for H 2 gas evolution. In order to protect the surface from corrosion and prevent surface charge recombination in contact with aqueous pH 7 electrolyte, we grew epitaxial SrTiO 3 layers of different thicknesses on p -Ge (001) surfaces. Four-nanometer SrTiO 3 allows photogenerated electrons to reach the surface and evolve H 2 gas, while 13 nm SrTiO 3 blocks these electrons. Ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that the surface readily dissociates H 2 O to form OH species, which may impact surface band bending.
