Abstract

In response to the initiative of the 2021 United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP26) on Climate Change and the Group of Twenty (G20), high-performance water-splitting energy conversion integrated devices are the best solution to addressing climate change, environmental pollution, and energy deficiency. Intrinsic defects of Cu2O enhance the performance of water-splitting via p-typed polaron surface state-induced high charge mobility and spintronic injection system. With the defect from the unfilled electron orbital, 3d9, in Cu, spin-orbital coupling effects are achieved by coherent ħ/−ħ angular momentum circular polarization laser light excited spintronic and spintronic injection systems. With the support of a 473 nm laser and ħ/−ħ angular momentum modulated 808 nm circular polarization laser light irradiation, the population of spintronic systems drastically increases and responds to the current density of the devices. Furthermore, the p-typed polaron surface state corresponding to combined laser light of 473 and 808 nm induced a high spin polarization rate of over 35% at a low bias. Cu defects induce p-typed polaron surface states that are successfully applied in spintronic injection water-splitting energy conversion integrated electronic systems, which will lead the energy conversion devices in green industries and advance quantum electronics. At the optimal operating conditions for water-splitting (1 atm, 25 °C), over 2 L of hydrogen gas were generated from a 1 m2 device, and the charge mobility was as high as 1.08
