Supersonic aerosol-deposited TiO2 photoelectrodes for photoelectrochemical solar water splitting
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting is a promising approach for economical and environmentally friendly hydrogen production. We report here the preparation of nanocrystalline TiO2 films by aerosol deposition (AD) and their performance as photoelectrodes for PEC water splitting. The AD deposited films, 0.5 to 4 mm in thickness, were analyzed to establish the dependence of water splitting ...
متن کاملNonstoichiometric rutile TiO2 photoelectrodes for improved photoelectrochemical water splitting.
A new type of nonstoichiometric rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) film with around 15 at% oxygen vacancies homogeneously distributed throughout the bulk was prepared. The resultant films, when used as a photoelectrode, showed a photoelectrochemical water splitting activity 1.7 times that of stoichiometric TiO2 at a bias of 0.9 V vs. Ag/AgCl. This is believed to result from the synergistic effect o...
متن کاملPhotoelectrodes Based upon Mo:BiVO<sub>4</sub> Inverse Opals for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting
D rawing inspiration from nature, photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting based on Fujishima Honda effect has been demonstrated as a feasible and cost-effective realization of an artificial analogy to photosynthesis. 7 With the goal of solar energy harvesting and storage, semiconductor photoelectrodes hold great promise to be an attractive alternative to the naturally occurring photosystems....
متن کاملPhotoelectrochemical water splitting: silicon photocathodes for hydrogen evolution
The development of low cost, scalable, renewable energy technologies is one of today’s most pressing scientific challenges. We report on progress towards the development of a photoelectrochemical water-splitting system that will use sunlight and water as the inputs to produce renewable hydrogen with oxygen as a by-product. This system is based on the design principle of incorporating two separa...
متن کاملCu2O photoelectrodes for solar water splitting : tuning photoelectrochemical performance by controlled faceting
Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) films were grown by electrodeposition in aqueous solutions of varying pH. The effect of bath pH on morphology, structural, and photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of Cu2O films was investigated. XRD showed that all prepared films were polycrystalline Cu2O, without formation of competing phases such as CuO and Cu. The film grown in the solution with a pH of 8 is made up of...
