1°Question

Which features (e. g. band-gap, CB/VB ratio, crystallinity) define a promising photocatalyst (for CO₂ reduction or H₂O splitting)?

2° Question

Which are key synthesis parameters / steps for tuning the above-mentioned features?

3° Question

Are all these parameters / steps reproducible in synthesis-robots? Among these, which ones can be very difficult or even impossible to reproduce?

4° Question

What catalytic experimental evidence or outputs (as from kinetics or spectroscopy) are needed for proper DFT modelling?
