Bimetallic MOF-derived oxides modified BiVO4 for enhanced photoelectrochemical water oxidation performance

Jingwei Huang et al.

Summary: A bimetallic NiCo-MOF was fabricated on BiVO4 through electrostatic attraction and then calcined to prepare NixCo1-xO/BiVO4 composite photoanode. The resulting NixCo1-xO with high porosity and surface area exhibited excellent oxygen evolution performance. It was found that NixCo1-xO, acting as a strong hole extraction material, increased the rate of surface water oxidation by promoting charge separation efficiency, leading to a significantly enhanced photocurrent.
