Enhanced photoelectrochemical water oxidation on bismuth vanadate by electrodeposition of amorphous titanium dioxide.
n-BiVO4 is a promising semiconductor material for photoelectrochemical water oxidation. Although most thin-film syntheses yield discontinuous BiVO4 layers, back reduction of photo-oxidized products on the conductive substrate has never been considered as a possible energy loss mechanism in the material. We report that a 15 s electrodeposition of amorphous TiO2 (a-TiO2) on W:BiVO4/F:SnO2 blocks ...
متن کاملEfficient water-splitting device based on a bismuth vanadate photoanode and thin-film silicon solar cells.
A hybrid photovoltaic/photoelectrochemical (PV/PEC) water-splitting device with a benchmark solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency of 5.2% under simulated air mass (AM) 1.5 illumination is reported. This cell consists of a gradient-doped tungsten-bismuth vanadate (W:BiVO4 ) photoanode and a thin-film silicon solar cell. The improvement with respect to an earlier cell that also used gradient-do...
متن کاملReactive Sputtering of Bismuth Vanadate Photoanodes for Solar Water Splitting
Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) has attracted increasing attention as a photoanode for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. It has a band gap in the visible light range (2.4−2.5 eV) and a valence band position suitable for driving water oxidation under illumination. While a number of methods have been used to make BiVO4 photoanodes, scalable thin film deposition has remained relatively underexp...
متن کاملSulfated Graphene Oxide as a Hole-Extraction Layer in High-Performance Polymer Solar Cells.
In this study, we have rationally designed and successfully developed sulfated graphene oxide (GO-OSO3H) with -OSO3H groups attached to the carbon basal plane of reduced GO surrounded with edge-functionalized -COOH groups. The resultant GO-OSO3H is demonstrated to be an excellent hole extraction layer (HEL) for polymer solar cells (PSCs) because of its proper work function for Ohmic contact wit...
متن کاملn-Type transition metal oxide as a hole extraction layer in PbS quantum dot solar cells.
The n-type transition metal oxides (TMO) consisting of molybdenum oxide (MoO(x)) and vanadium oxide (V(2)O(x)) are used as an efficient hole extraction layer (HEL) in heterojunction ZnO/PbS quantum dot solar cells (QDSC). A 4.4% NREL-certified device based on the MoO(x) HEL is reported with Al as the back contact material, representing a more than 65% efficiency improvement compared with the ca...
