A highly efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic fuel cell with ZnIn2S4/PANI/TiO2/Ti photoanode for simultaneous degradation of rhodamine B and electricity generation

Jiaxin Mou et al.

Summary: In order to enhance the optical absorption range and charge transfer efficiency, a ZnIn2S4/PANI/TiO2/Ti photoanode was developed and applied in a photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC) system for organic pollutants removal and chemical energy recovery. The prepared photoanode achieved a maximum photocurrent density of 4.19 mA cm(-2) (1.2 V vs. SCE). The PFC constructed with the ZnIn2S4/PANI/TiO2/Ti composite photoanode and Cu cathode showed a Rhodamine B (RhB) removal efficiency of 93.80% (1 h), maximum power density (P-max) of 18.83 mu W cm(-2), and short-circuit current density (J(sc)) of 0.26 mA cm(-2). The improved photocatalytic activity was attributed to the excellent photoelectric properties of the ZnIn2S4/PANI hybrid material, where PANI acted as a photosensitizer to enhance the visible light absorption by the photoanode. The photoexcited electrons of ZnIn2S4 and PANI were directly transferred to the conduction band (CB) of TiO2, while the holes accumulated in the valence band (VB) of PANI participated in the oxidation reaction. This synergistic effect facilitated the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and improved the photoelectric conversion efficiency of PFC.

Polyaniline/g-C3N4/Bi2O3/Ti photoanode for visible light responsive photocatalytic fuel cell degradation of rhodamine B and electricity generation

Lin Dong et al.

Summary: In this study, a polyaniline/g-C3N4/Bi2O3/Ti photoanode was successfully prepared and assembled with a Cu cathode to construct a visible light responsive photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC) for the simultaneous decomposition of rhodamine B and electricity generation. The PFC exhibited a degradation rate, maximum photocurrent density, and maximum power density of 91.23%, 0.086 mA cm-2, and 4.78 mu W cm-2, respectively. These values were significantly higher than those of PFCs with g-C3N4/Bi2O3/Ti and Bi2O3/Ti photoanodes. The improved performance was attributed to the type II heterojunction structure formed among polyaniline, g-C3N4, and Bi2O3 in the polyaniline/g-C3N4/Bi2O3/Ti photoanode. The 7c-7c conjugated structure of polyaniline facilitated the rapid transfer of electronic charge, leading to enhanced spatial separation efficiency and extended visible light response wavelength.

MIL-53(Fe)@BiOBr/TCN/Ti photoanode assembled visible light responsive photocatalytic fuel cell to enhance rhodamine B degradation and electricity generation

Zhuofan Han et al.

Summary: In this study, a MIL-53(Fe)@BiOBr/TCN/Ti photoanode was created using a secondary silica sol drop coating method, and assembled with a Cu cathode to form a photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC) for the degradation of rhodamine B and electricity generation. The resulting PFC exhibited high visible light response and photocatalytic activity, with a rhodamine B degradation efficiency of 92.19%, a maximum power density of 6.2 mu W cm-2, and a maximum photocurrent density of 0.11 mA cm-2. The strong photocatalysis capabilities of the photoanode can be attributed to its wider light absorption range and lower charge carrier recombination rate. The double Z-scheme heterojunction formed among BiOBr, MIL-53(Fe), and TCN in the composite catalyst of the photoanode provides more transfer channels for photogenerated electrons and encourages the separation of electron-hole pairs. The main active substances for rhodamine B degradation are center dot OH and center dot O-2. This study offers a novel approach to the development of high-efficiency photoanodes for PFC.
