abstract = {CuBi2O4 has recently emerged as a promising photocathode
for photo-electrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However,
its fast degradation under operation currently poses a limit
to its application. Here, we report a novel method to study
operando the semiconductor-electrolyte interface during PEC
operation by surface-sensitive high-energy X-ray scattering.
We find that a fast decrease in the generated photocurrents
correlates directly with the formation of a metallic Bi
phase. We further show that the slower formation of metallic
Cu, as well as the dissolution of the electrode in contact
with the electrolyte, further affect the CuBi$_2$O$_4$
activity and morphology. Our study provides a comprehensive
picture of the degradation mechanisms affecting
CuBi$_2$O$_4$ electrodes under operation and poses the
methodological basis to investigate the photocorrosion
processes affecting a wide range of PEC materials.},
