Photocatalytic generation of hydrogen by core-shell WO3/BiVO4 nanorods with ultimate water splitting efficiency
Efficient photocatalytic water splitting requires effective generation, separation and transfer of photo-induced charge carriers that can hardly be achieved simultaneously in a single material. Here we show that the effectiveness of each process can be separately maximized in a nanostructured heterojunction with extremely thin absorber layer. We demonstrate this concept on WO3/BiVO4+CoPi core-s...
متن کاملZnO@CdS Core-Shell Heterostructures: Fabrication, Enhanced Photocatalytic, and Photoelectrochemical Performance
ZnO nanorods and ZnO@CdS heterostructures have been fabricated on carbon fiber cloth substrates via hydrothermal and electrochemical deposition. Their photocatalytic properties were investigated by measuring the degradation of methylene blue under ultraviolet light irradiation. The result illustrated that the photodegradation efficiency of ZnO@CdS heterostructures was better than that of pure Z...
متن کاملCore/Shell/Shell Nanowire Photocathodes for Neutral pH Water Splitting
Silicon is the most widely used semiconductor for solar cells [ 1–4 ] and has also shown promising performances in photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells for hydrogen production. [ 5–10 ] Silicon photoelectrodes with nano/micro structures such as nano/ micro wire array [ 9,11 ] and black silicon [ 7 ] have exhibited improved PEC performances. Silicon nanowire (NW) arrays, in particular, are of consid...
متن کاملAnisotropic epitaxial ZnO/CdO core/shell heterostructure nanorods
Various surface structures and polarities of one-dimensional nanostructures offer additional control in synthesizing heterostructures suitable for optoelectronic and electronic applications. In this work, we report synthesis and characterization of ZnO-CdO nanorod-based heterostructures grown on a-plane sapphire. The heterojunction formed on the sidewall surface of the nanorod shows that wurtzi...
متن کاملFlower-like ZnO-Ag2O composites: precipitation synthesis and photocatalytic activity
Ag2O-decorated flower-like ZnO composites were fabricated through a chemical precipitation process. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the co-existence of cubic Ag2O and wurtzite ZnO phases. Scanning electron microscopy images reveal Ag2O nanoparticles located on the rough surface of ZnO flowers. The photocatalytic activities of the composites with various mole ratios were evaluated by the deg...
