    (a) The schematic structure of the 160 nm p-AlGaN/140 nm n-GaN NWs. The far left inset is the STEM image of an individual NW, and the upper left inset is the top-view SEM image of the NWs. Operation mechanisms of the PEC PD under (b) 255 nm and (c) 365 nm illuminations, including energy band diagrams, carrier transport, and chemical reactions. The solid arrows refer to the dominant charge transfer processes. (d) The LSV curve of the PEC PD with 160 nm p-AlGaN/140 nm n-GaN NWs at dark.
