Low temperature strategy for the synthesis of Ta3N5 and electrochemical deposition of Ag3PO4 to modify TiO2 as an advanced photoelectrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reactions

Hai Yu et al.

Summary: In this study, a low temperature strategy was proposed for the synthesis of Ta3N5 and the electrochemical deposition of Ag3PO4 to modify TiO2 nanorods, leading to the construction of a heterogeneous structural system with enhanced interfacial charge transfer. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of Ag3PO4/Ta3N5-TiO2 was investigated by testing its optical absorption, carrier concentration, band gap, photocurrent density, and stability. The results showed that the decoration of Ag3PO4 nanoparticles and Ta3N5 can enhance both the PEC performance and stability of the Ag3PO4/Ta3N5-TiO2 photoanode. This study is important as it provides insights for the preparation of more efficient photoelectrodes.
