| Abstract | $Ta_{3}N_{5}$ is a promising photoelectrode for solar hydrogen production; however, to date pristine $Ta_{3}N_{5}$ electrodes without loading co-catalysts have presented limited photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance. In particular, large external biasing has been required to run water oxidation, the origin of which is investigated herein. $Ta_{3}N_{5}$ nanotubes (NTs) prepared by nitridation were characterized by a wide range of techniques. The bandgap was confirmed by a novel PEC technique. Nondestructive synchrotron-excited XPS has shown the presence of reduced Ta species deeper in the $Ta_{3}N_{5}$ surface. Lower photocurrent and transient spikes that were intense at lower applied biasing were observed under water oxidation; however, spikes were inhibited in the presence of a sacrificial agent and photocurrent was improved even at low biasing. It was observed for the first time that the lower PEC performance under water oxidation can be attributed to the presence of interband trapping states associated with pristine $Ta_{3}N_{5}$ NTs/electrolyte junction. These states correspond to the structural defects in $Ta_{3}N_{5},$ devastate PEC performance, and present the necessity to apply higher biasing. The key to circumvent them is to use a sacrificial agent in the electrolyte or to load a suitable co-catalyst to avoid hole accumulation under water oxidation, thereby improving the phootocurrent. The findings on the interband states could also provide guidance for the investigation of PEC properties of new types of semiconducting devices. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
