BiVO4 photoelectrodes for unbiased solar water splitting devices enabled by electrodepositing of Cu2O simultaneously as photoanode and photocathode

Lei Yang et al.

Summary: In this study, BiVO4 films were synthesized and Cu2O was electrodeposited to form BiVO4/Cu2O heterojunction electrodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting. By controlling the electrodeposition potential, the semiconductivity behavior of Cu2O on the surface or inside of BiVO4 can be adjusted for different reactions. An optimized BiVO4/Cu2O/Co-Pi photoanode achieved an anodic photocurrent density of 1.97 mA cm-2 at 1.23 V vs. RHE. A reverse arrangement of the BiVO4/Cu2O heterojunction structure was observed when Cu2O was deposited inside BiVO4. The fabricated BiVO4/Cu2O-C photocathode showed a cathodic photocurrent density of -2.9 mA cm-2. A unbiased solar tandem cell was also constructed using BiVO4/Cu2O-C photocathode and BiVO4/Cu2O/Co-Pi photoanode, which exhibited a photoelectric current of 0.1 mA cm-2 without applying external voltage.

Recent progress in BiVO4-based heterojunction nanomaterials for photocatalytic applications

Xiaoyan Zhong et al.

Summary: As an innovative semiconductor photocatalytic material, bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) has gained attention due to its narrow band gap, visible light response, and non-toxicity. However, the photocatalytic properties of BiVO4 are hindered by poor charge transport ability, slow water oxidation kinetics, and fast recombination of electron-hole pairs. This review summarizes the progress in designing heterojunction nano-materials based on BiVO4 for photocatalytic applications, including water splitting, organic matter degradation, CO2 reduction, and heavy metal ion reduction. Future development and prospects of BiVO4-based heterojunction nano-materials are also discussed.
