چکیده
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.

Well-defined CdS nanograin-sensitized one-dimensional (1D) Zr:α-Fe2O3 nanostructured arrays with enhanced photoelectrochemical performance are synthesized directly on F-doped SnO2 (FTO) using the hydrothermal method. Owing predominantly to the appropriate photogenerated electron-hole separation and charge collection in 1D Zr:α-Fe2O3 nanorods, hydrothermally deposited CdS/1D Zr:α-Fe2O3 samples e...

متن کاملEnhanced photoelectrochemical response of plasmonic Au embedded BiVO4/Fe2O3 heterojunction.
The effect of embedding Au nanoparticles (NPs) in a BiVO4/Fe2O3 heterojunction for photoelectrochemical water splitting is studied here for the first time. The present nanostructured heterojunction offers three major advantages over pristine BiVO4 and Fe2O3: (i) the formation of a heterojunction between BiVO4 and Fe2O3 enhances the charge carrier separation and transfer, (ii) the layer of Fe2O3...

متن کاملSurface Engineered Doping of Hematite Nanorod Arrays for Improved Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting
Given the narrow band gap enabling excellent optical absorption, increased charge carrier density and accelerated surface oxidation reaction kinetics become the key points for improved photoelectrochemical performances for water splitting over hematite (α-Fe2O3) photoanodes. In this study, a facile and inexpensive method was demonstrated to develop core/shell structured α-Fe2O3 nanorod arrays. ...
