Thermal Treatment of Polyvinyl Alcohol for Coupling MoS2 and TiO2 Nanotube Arrays toward Enhancing Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting Performance

نویسندگان

چکیده

Solar-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, using semiconductor photoelectrodes, is considered a promising renewable energy source and solution for environmental sustainability. Herein, we report polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as binder material combining MoS2 TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) to improve PEC splitting ability. By thermal treatment process, the formation of π conjunction in PVA structure enhanced performance MoS2/TNAs, exhibiting linear sweeps an anodic direction with current density over 65 μA/cm2 at 0 V vs. Ag/AgCl. Besides, photoresponse ability MoS2/TNAs approximately 6-fold more significant than that individual TNAs. Moreover, Tafel slope 140.6 mV/decade has been obtained oxygen evolution reaction (OER) materials.

TiO2 and Fe2O3 films for photoelectrochemical water splitting.

Titanium oxide (TiO2) and iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) hematite films have potential applications as photoanodes in electrochemical water splitting. In the present work TiO2 and α-Fe2O3 thin films were prepared by two methods, e.g., sol-gel and High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS) and judged on the basis of physical properties such as crystalline structure and surface topography and functio...
