Abstract

This reply addresses critiques on the feasibility of textured BiVO₄ growth and methodological rigor in texture analysis. We provide experimental evidence demonstrating the viability of [001]-textured BiVO₄ films on polycrystalline substrates via laser ablation. Comprehensive analysis confirms that crystallographic orientation significantly enhances PEC performance, reinforcing the importance of texture engineering in the development of efficient photoelectrochemical materials.
