Modulation of Lewis and Bronsted Acidic Sites to Enhance the Redox Ability of Nb2O5 Photoanodes for Efficient Photoelectrochemical Performance

Tianhao Li et al.

Summary: Accelerated surface redox reaction and regulated carrier separation are crucial for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting. In this study, Nb2O5 materials with unique surface acidity and semiconductor properties were selected, and surface phosphorylation was used to change its surface acidic sites to achieve efficient water splitting. The resulting photoanode exhibited a high photocurrent density and a cathodic shift, which can be attributed to the increase in Lewis acidic sites and the weakening of Bronsted acidic sites. This work provides a strategy for enhancing redox capacity and advancing the development of efficient photoanodes for water splitting.

Surface passivation decoration of amorphous cobalt silicate on molybdenum-doped bismuth vanadate for efficient photoelectrochemical water oxidation

Bokai Kang et al.

Summary: A subtle strategy was employed to greatly enhance the consumption rate of surface holes, resulting in a dramatically high current density of 2.82 mA/cm2 at 1.23 VRHE on the composite photoanode (4.7-fold higher than BiVO4) with a negative onset potential offset of 207 mV. The decoration of amorphous Co-species significantly improved the surface charge injection efficiency to nearly 90% at 1.23 VRHE. The presence of amorphous Co species as a passivation layer was verified by OCP and IMPS tests, showing the highest photovoltage and the lowest charge recombination kinetics of the composite photoanode.

Enhanced photoelectrochemical activity using NiCo2S4 / spaced TiO2 nanorod heterojunction

Lakshmana Reddy Nagappagari et al.

Summary: The study investigates the growth of well-aligned spaced TiO2 nanorod arrays on FTO substrate, which enhances the PEC performance. The calcination time ranging from 1 to 5 hours at 400 degrees Celsius significantly impacts the structure of the nanorods, resulting in spaced nanorods with improved transfer efficiency of internal charge carriers. The heterojunction formation with NiCo2S4 via the SILAR method improves PEC performance by reducing charge carrier recombination at the interface.

Chemical bath deposition of petal-shaped In2S3 microspheres and their photoelectrochemical properties

Meng Cao et al.

Summary: In(2)S(3) thin films were prepared by chemical bath deposition, and the photoelectric properties were optimized by controlling the amount of acetic acid. The structural characteristics and morphologies of the films were characterized using XRD, SEM, and TEM. The bandgaps were measured using UV-Vis-NIR spectra. PEC measurements showed that the addition of 0.4 M CH(3)CO2H resulted in the best PEC performance for In(2)S(3), with the highest photocurrent density of 41.93 mu A/cm2.
