This work presents the deposition and study of semiconductor behavior CuBi2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) with an average crystallite size 24 ± 2 nm embedded in poly(3,4 ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(4-styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films. The NP bandgap was estimated at 1.7 eV, while for composite film, it 2.1 due to PEDOT:PSS heterojunction between polymer NPs. charge transport glass/ITO/PEDOT:PSS-Cu...

The widespread application of solar-water-splitting for energy conversion depends on the progress photoelectrodes that uphold stringent criteria from photoabsorber materials. After investigating almost all possible elemental and binary semiconductors, search must be expanded to complex Yet, high structural control these materials will become more challenging with an increasing number elements. ...

In the present work CuBi2O4 nano-spinel has been synthesized via mild hydrothermal methodat 180°C for 10 h. The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by several techniquesto emphasis the structure and properties of produced materials. The crystal structure wasinvestigated by X-ray powder diffraction method and the values of the refined unit cell volumeand the structure properties were st...

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is an eco-friendly method for producing clean and sustainable hydrogen fuels. Compared with the fabrication of solar using n-type metal oxide semiconductor photoanodes, that p-type photocathodes has not been researched as thoroughly. Therefore, this study investigated effect drop casting time on PEC performance a prepared CuBi2O4 photocathode. XPS, HRT...
