10 hours chronoamperometry (CA) testing under 1 sun illumination and constant bias at -0.6 V vs RHE, the corresponding Faradaic efficiency reveals a self-improving nature of GaN, inset: CA testing on bare Si for 5 hours under 1 sun illumination and -0.6 V vs RHE, this bare Si photocathode rapidly drops down to < 0.05 mA/cm2 within an hour. Both CA testing performed in 0.5 M H2SO4 (pH=0.4).
