CdS-coated TiO2 nanotube layers: downscaling tube diameter towards efficient heterostructured photoelectrochemical conversion
Herein, a novel photoelectrochemical heterostructure based on TiO2 nanotube layers uniformly coated by a CdS thin layer (using ALD) is presented. Downscaling the nanotube diameter (from 95 to 35 nm) resulted in a 2-fold enhancement of the UV and Vis light photocurrents. Further photocurrent improvement resulted from the prior annealing of the TiO2 nanotube layers from 300 to 600 °C.
متن کاملFreestanding CdS nanotube films as efficient photoanodes for photoelectrochemical cells
Recently, freestanding lms have attracted much attention because they are highly useful in the fabrication of various nanodevices. Freestanding lms can be used on any substrate without deterioration of their own unique properties. Layerby-layer (LBL) deposition has been used widely in the synthesis of freestanding lms, especially of polymer lms with specic physical and mechanical propertie...
متن کاملVisible-light-driven photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic performances of Cr-doped SrTiO3/TiO2 heterostructured nanotube arrays
Well-aligned TiO2 nanotube arrays have become of increasing significance because of their unique highly ordered array structure, high specific surface area, unidirectional charge transfer and transportation features. However, their poor visible light utilization as well as the high recombination rate of photoexcited electron-hole pairs greatly limited their practical applications. Herein, we de...
متن کاملCdS or CdSe decorated TiO2 nanotube arrays from spray pyrolysis deposition: use in photoelectrochemical cells.
In the present work we report on an investigation of TiO(2) nanotube arrays sensitized by low band-gap materials, such as CdS and CdSe, prepared by the one-step spray pyrolysis deposition method, which is very suitable for mass production, and their performance in photoelectrochemical cells.
متن کاملElectrochemical Infilling of CuInSe2 within TiO2 Nanotube Layers and Subsequent Photoelectrochemical Studies
Anodic self-organized TiO2 nanotube layers (with different aspect ratios) were electrochemically infilled with CuInSe2 nanocrystals with the aim to prepare heterostructures with a photoelectrochemical response in the visible light. The resulting heterostructure assembly was confirmed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffra...
