The result was a notable increase in both photon absorption and electron transport. What was not clear was exactly how the nitrogen was facilitating the observed changes.
Nitrogen's role Galli and former graduate student Yuan Ping, now a post-doc at Caltech, found that the nitrogen was acting on the electrode in several ways.
"Galli's team found that these defects enhance the transport of electrons. But more interestingly, they found that the nitrogen that had been incorporated into the compound increased the transport of electrons independent of the defects.
Finally, that nitrogen lowered the energy needed to kick electrons into the state in which they were available to split water.
