##FILE DESCRIPTION---------------

### Figure 1-Fig1a.txt : Average photocurrent–voltage (J–V) plots measured by back illumination in 0.1 M KPi with 0.1 M Na2SO3 for the different exposed areas. Dark currents are represented as dashed lines.-Fig1b.txt : Chronoamperometry plot measured by back illumination in 0.1 M KPi with 0.1 M Na2SO3 for the three exposed areas. Inset:  BiVO4 photoanodes synthetized by electrochemical deposition and thermal evaporation.  The area was delimited using an epoxy resin.-Fig1c.txt : Average of current–voltage (J–V) plots measured by back illumination in 0.1 M KPi with 0.1 M Na2SO3 for an equal to exposed area of 1 cm2 (black), 0.2 cm2 (green) and a photoanode of 1 cm2 with a reduced exposed area of 0.2 cm2 (blue).
