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.
