Surface exfoliation : A Ta 3 N 5 photoanode prepared by a thermal oxidation and nitridation method shows a high solar photocurrent. This photocurrent is currently the highest achieved by a Ta 3 N 5 photoanode. The photocurrent is obtained mainly because of facile thermal and mechanical exfoliation of the surface passivation layer of the Ta 3 N 5 photoanode (see picture).
