The effects of W/Mo-co-doped BiVO4 photoanodes for improving photoelectrochemical water splitting performance

Meysam Tayebi et al.

Summary: Co-doping bismuth vanadate (BVO) with tungsten/molybdenum (W/Mo) significantly enhances its photoelectrochemical properties, resulting in improved photocurrent density, water splitting efficiency, and hydrogen production. The co-doped 0.5W-2Mo-BVO shows a 2700-fold increase in donor concentration and a significant decrease in the space charge layer thickness compared to pure BVO, leading to enhanced charge carrier mobility and PEC performance.

General and Robust Photothermal-Heating-Enabled High-Efficiency Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

Bing He et al.

Summary: The performance of photoanodes in PEC water splitting can be significantly enhanced by sandwiching a photothermal Co3O4 layer between a BiVO4 film and an FeOOH/NiOOH electrocatalyst sheet. This strategy improves light absorption, charge transfer, and water oxidation kinetics simultaneously, leading to superior photocurrent density and efficiency. The use of a variety of metal sulfides, nitrides, and phosphides as heaters can also yield high-performance photoanodes.
