A central issue in understanding photocatalytic water splitting on a stoichiometric or defective nanostructured oxide surface is its adsorption mode and related reactivity. More than just improving the adsorption of water on oxide surfaces, we demonstrate in this work that surface oxygen vacancies (OVs) also offer a possibility of activating water toward thermodynamically enhanced photocatalytic water oxidation, while the water activation state, as reflected by its capability to trap holes, strongly depends on the structures of OVs. Utilizing well-ordered BiOCl single-crystalline surfaces, we reveal that dissociatively adsorbed water on the OV of the (010) surface exhibits higher tendency to be oxidized than the molecularly adsorbed water on the OV of the (001) surface. Analysis of the geometric atom arrangement shows that the OV of the BiOCl (010) surface can facilitate barrierless O–H bond breaking in the first proton removal reaction, which is sterically hindered on the OV of the BiOCl (001) surface, a...
