چکیده
Abstract In this study, we used a hot-pressing process to enhance the photocatalytic properties of TiO 2 /Fe O 3 bimetallic oxide with periodic patterned structure on surface increase photon absorption for photocatalysis in oxygen evolution reaction water splitting. The hot-pressed samples show that combining two metal oxides improves band edge electrode at different wavelengths. obtained using successfully absorption, resulting two-fold enhancement compared flat electrode.

Photocharged BiVO4 photoanodes for improved solar water splitting
Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) is a promising semiconductor material for the production of solar fuels via photoelectrochemical water splitting, however, it suffers from substantial recombination losses that limit its performance to well below its theoretical maximum. Here we demonstrate for the first time that the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of BiVO4 photoanodes can be dramatically improv...
متن کاملLaTiO2N/In2O3 photoanodes with improved performance for solar water splitting.
LaTiO(2)N photoanodes for solar water splitting were prepared by electrophoretic deposition and demonstrated the best photocurrents ever reported for this material. Further important enhancement of the performance was obtained by the use of a sputtered In(2)O(3) overlayer.
متن کاملCobalt Hexacyanoferrate on BiVO4 Photoanodes for Robust Water Splitting
The efficient integration of photoactive and catalytic materials is key to promoting photoelectrochemical water splitting as a sustainable energy technology built on solar power. Here, we report highly stable water splitting photoanodes from BiVO4 photoactive cores decorated with CoFe Prussian blue-type electrocatalysts (CoFe-PB). This combination decreases the onset potential of BiVO4 by ∼0.8 ...
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 کاملImproving BiVO4 photoanodes for solar water splitting through surface passivation.
BiVO4 has shown great potential as a semiconductor photoanode for solar water splitting. Significant improvements made during recent years allowed researchers to obtain a photocurrent density of up to 4.0 mA cm(-2) (AM1.5 sunlight illumination, 1.23 VRHE bias). For further improvements of the BiVO4 photoelectrodes, a deep understanding of the processes occurring at the BiVO4-H2O interface is cr...
