PEC water-splitting realistic limiting efficiency, high-performance materials (Fountaine Real1)

The maxima of a parameterised model case — Fountaine, Lewerenz & Atwater's 'realistic limiting efficiencies' for high-performance materials — a benchmark listed on a route, never a bound that decides it; the parameter bundle is the record, not the four numbers alone.
