The functionalized zinc oxide nanotube coated with MXene layer was successfully prepared using a simple dipping method. The existence of the prepared material was confirmed through various characterization techniques. The modification of ZnO NT with MXene resulted in a decrease in bandgap value and an increase in photoelectrochemical performance. The current density of ZnO NT/MXene was about 0.2 mA/cm2 (1.4 V vs Ag/AgCl), which is twice as high as that of ZnO NT. Additionally, the oxygen evolution of the modified ZnO NT was 1.5 times higher than the pristine one, indicating effective hole junction/charge transfer in ZnO NT/MXene.
The zinc oxide nanotube functionalized by Ti3C2Tx (ZnO NT/MXene) has been successfully prepared. The MXene layer was attached to the ZnO NT surface by simply dipping method. The prepared material was confirmed by several characterization techniques. By modifying ZnO NT with MXene, a decrease in bandgap value and an increase in photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance was observed. The current density of ZnO NT/MXene was about 0.2 mA/cm2 (1.4 V vs Ag/AgCl), which is two times higher than ZnO NT. Furthermore, the oxygen evolution of modified ZnO NT was noted 1.5 times higher than the pristine one. These result suggests the effective hole junction/charge transfer for ZnO NT/MXene.
