EPFL researchers have shown that a single organic semiconductor layer can drive either hydrogen or oxygen evolution, depending only on the molecular layer beneath it. Using this effect, they built the first organic semiconductor-based photocatalyst sheet that splits water using simulated sunlight with no applied bias.
