In the case of clinobisvanite the orientation of crystal grains
in photoelectrodes presumably play an important role owing to the ferroelectric properties of the oxide.

The
photoelectrodes, left by themselves, are very vulnerable to oxidation (rust) and
in a short while this ruins the solar - fuel generator's operation.
For example, ultrathin and pin - hole free oxide coatings have the potential to stabilize semiconductor
photoelectrodes that otherwise would be unstable
in aqueous acid or base.
