ZnFe2O4 Nanotapers: Slag Assistant-Growth and Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Efficiency
In this study, ZnFe2O4 (ZFO) nanotapers are fabricated on the ZnO nanorods (NRs) by recycling rare-earth oxide (REO) slag as the iron source, which thereby exhibits dramatically enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) efficiency. Our studies demonstrate that the electron-hole separation and charge migration can be facilitated by the cascade band alignment of ZFO and ZnO and the branched nanotaper s...
متن کاملPhotoelectrochemical properties of nanomultiple CaFe2O4/ZnFe2O4 pn junction photoelectrodes.
Nanomultiple CaFe2O4/ZnFe2O4pn junctions are prepared by a pulsed laser deposition method to explore their photoelectrochemical properties as the photoelectrodes. It is demonstrated that the multiple-pn-junction structure is favorable to enhancing the photocurrent density and the onset potential of the photoelectrode. Furthermore, the 20-junction photoelectrode-based PEC cell yields a high open...
متن کاملHighly-oriented Fe2O3/ZnFe2O4 nanocolumnar heterojunction with improved charge separation for photoelectrochemical water oxidation.
This paper describes the design and synthesis of a heterojunction photoanode composed of highly-oriented Fe2O3/ZnFe2O4 nanocolumnar arrays with a well-defined morphology by reactive ballistic deposition and atomic layer deposition. This specific structure enhances the charge separation at the Fe2O3/ZnFe2O4 interface, leading to an improved photoelectrochemical performance for water oxidation.
متن کاملManual assembly of nanocrystals for enhanced photoelectrochemical efficiency of hematite film.
To improve the optoelectronic properties of hematite film as a photoanode, hematite film was orientated on the (012) plane by the secondary growth of organized microcrystals. The resultant film showed promising photoelectrochemical effects compared with a randomly oriented one, with a maximum photocurrent of 0.8 mA cm(-2) at 1.23 V vs. RHE under the illumination of 1 sun.
متن کاملEfficiency limits for photoelectrochemical water-splitting
Theoretical limiting efficiencies have a critical role in determining technological viability and expectations for device prototypes, as evidenced by the photovoltaics community's focus on detailed balance. However, due to their multicomponent nature, photoelectrochemical devices do not have an equivalent analogue to detailed balance, and reported theoretical efficiency limits vary depending on...
