Detailed structural, optical, and photoelectrochemical evaluation confirms the suitability of these nanoparticles for photocapacitive applications, when synergistically combined with spin-coated BiVO4 photoelectrodes, as derived from the estimated energy diagram. Furthermore, the p–n junction facilitates the photo-oxidation of PbS nanoparticles under light irradiation. In the dark, the photogenerated charges are released providing an electric output response with a solar-to-current efficiency of 0.042%, storing extra energy to the H2 produced by water splitting when the BiVO4 photoanode works under illumination. Herein, the importance of the synthetic route and methodology to ensemble materials for advanced solar energy storage applications is highlighted. 000101523 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIU/ENE2017-85087-C3-1-R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIU/RYC-2018-025222-I 000101523 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000101523 590__ $$a3.631$$b2020 000101523 591__ $$aENERGY & FUELS$$b66 / 114 = 0.579$$c2020$$dQ3$$eT2 000101523 592__ $$a0.91$$b2020 000101523 593__ $$aEnergy (miscellaneous)$$c2020$$dQ1 000101523 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000101523 700__ $$aCardenas-Morcoso, D. 000101523 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-7246-2149$$aHaro, M.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000101523 700__ $$aGil-Barrachina, C. 000101523 700__ $$aAranda, C. 000101523 700__ $$aMaghraoui-Meherzi, H. 000101523 700__ $$aGarcía-Tecedor, M. 000101523 700__ $$aGiménez, S. 000101523 700__ $$aJulián-López, B. 000101523 7102_ $$12012$$2755$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
