2 Photoelectrochemical efficiency calculations The fill factor is FF, the current density at the maximum power point is J mpp, the potential at the maximum power point is V mpp, the open circuit voltage is V oc, the short circuit current density is J sc, and the power input is P in. The fill factor is determined by finding the potential and current at which the maximum power output is generated from the device. The power input is 100 mw cm -2. The photovoltage is calculated by taking the difference between the voltage of n- Si/SiO x /Co/CoOOH in the light and the p ++ -Si/Co/CoOOH in the dark. The limiting current density is the short circuit current density. The maximum power point occurs at 31 ma cm -2 and 0.33 V. The short circuit current density is 35 ma cm -2 and the open circuit voltage is 0.47 V. Thus, the fill factor is 0.62 (Eq. S1) and the efficiency is 10.2 % (Eq. S2). If the photovoltage is calculated against the thermodynamic potential for water oxidation in 1 M KOH ( V vs. Ag/AgCl), the maximum power point occurs at 6.2 ma cm -2 and 0.06 V, the short circuit current density is 13 ma cm -2 and the open circuit potential is 0.20 V. Thus, the fill factor is 0.14 and the efficiency is 0.4 %. FF = Jmpp x V mpp (Eq. S1) Jsc x V oc FF x V oc sc % efficiency = (Eq. S2) P in x J Solid-state measurement calculations The Mott-Schottky equation is shown below as Eq. S3. Capacitance is C (F cm -2 ), the charge of an electron is q (1.60 x C), the vacuum permittivity is! o (8.85 x F cm -1 ), the permittivity of silicon is! s (1.05 x F cm -1 ), area is A, donor density is N D, the applied bias is V, the flat band voltage is V fb, Boltzmann s constant is k (1.38 x J K -1 ), and temperature 2 2 NATURE MATERIALS
3 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION is T (294 K). The x-intercept of the Mott-Schottky plot is reached at the bias that needs to be applied to cause the bands to become flat. Also, the slope of the plot can be used to calculate the donor density of the electrode. The x-intercept plus kt/q (0.025 V) equals the flat band voltage, which is 0.66 V for the solid state cell with 10 mc cm -2 of cobalt electrodeposited on n-silicon. 1 C 2 = 2 q" s" o A 2 N D ( V! V fb! kt / q) (Eq. S3) The donor density (N D ) of the silicon wafer is calculated from Eq. S4 using the charge of an electron as q (1.60 x C), the electron mobility as µ (1500 cm 2 V -1 s -1 ), and the resistivity as ". A 4-point probe was used to measure the resistivity of the silicon wafers prior to scoring and breaking the wafers. The (100) n-silicon wafer used in this study had a resistivity of 2.3 # cm and a donor density of 1.8 x cm -3 (Eq. S4). N D 1 = (Eq. S4) qµ! Interface surface state density calculation Eq. S5 was used to estimate the density of surface states in the n-si/sio x /Co/CoOOH heterojunction 1. The expression was developed by Card and Rhoderick for metal-insulatorsemiconductor (MIS) solar cells. The following are constants used in this equation; the permittivity of silicon dioxide is! i (3.45 x F cm -1 ), the permittivity of silicon is! s (1.05 x F cm -1 ), and the charge of an electron is q (1.60 x C). The following variables were calculated: the diode quality factor is n (1.12), the thickness of silicon dioxide is $ (5 Å), the flat band voltage is V fb (0.66 V), and the donor density is N D (1.8 x cm -3 ). This shows that the density of surface states is dependent on the diode quality factor and the thickness of the insulating layer, in this case silicon dioxide. The density of surface states for the photoanode with 10 mc cm -2 of cobalt electrodeposited onto (100) n-silicon is 5.07 x states cm -2 ev NATURE MATERIALS 3
4 This low surface state density is consistent with minimal electron-hole recombination at midgap states. D ( n# 1)! i # " 2! sv q! s q N fb D = (Eq. S5) ss References: 1. Card, H.
