TI  - Efficient Photocatalytic Fuel Cell via Simultaneous Visible-Photoelectrocatalytic 
      Degradation and Electricity Generation on a Porous Coral-like WO(3)/W 
      Photoelectrode.

AB  - Photocatalytic fuel cells (PFCs) have proven to be effective for generating 
      electricity and degrading pollutants with a goal to resolve environmental and 
      energy problems. However, the degradation of persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs), such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), remains challenging. In the 
      present work, a porous coral-like WO(3)/W (PCW) photoelectrode with a 
      well-designed energy band structure was used for the photoelectrocatalytic 
      degradation of POPs and the simultaneous generation of electricity. The 
      as-constructed bionic porous coral-like nanostructure greatly improved the 
      light-harvesting capacity of the PCW photoelectrode. A maximum photocurrent 
      density (0.31 mA/cm(2)) under visible light (lambda > 420 nm) irradiation and a high 
      incident photon conversion efficiency (IPCE) value (5.72% at 420 nm) were 
      achieved. Because of the unique porous coral-like structure, the suitable energy 
      band position, and the strong oxidation ability, this PCW photoelectrode-based 
      PFC system exhibited a strong ability for simultaneous photoelectrocatalytic 
      degradation of PFOA and electricity generation under visible-light irradiation, 
      with a power output of 0.0013 mV/cm(2) using PFOA as the fuel. This work provides 
      a promising way to construct a reliable PFC using highly toxic POPs to generate 
      electricity.
