Construction of a heterojunction between quantum dots and TiO2 nanowire arrays via electrostatic self-assembly is rarely reported. In this work, the surface potential of WO3 quantum dots and TiO2 nanowire arrays was changed using mercury lamp irradiation, resulting in WO3 quantum dots tightly attached to the TiO2 nanowire surface through electrostatic self-assembly. Photoelectrochemical measurements showed that the WO3 quantum dots formed a type II heterojunction with the TiO2 nanowire arrays, greatly improving the contribution of the WO3 quantum dots to the photocurrent. The self-assembled system exhibited excellent photoelectrochemical stability and significantly enhanced photocurrent density compared to the TiO2 nanowire arrays.
Construction of a heterojunction between quantum dots and TiO2 nanowire arrays via electrostatic self-assembly is rarely reported. In this work, mercury lamp irradiation was used to change the surface potential of WO3 quantum dots and TiO2 nanowire arrays, resulting in WO3 quantum dots tightly attached on the surface of TiO2 nanowire through electrostatic self-assembly. Photoelectrochemical measurements showed that the WO3 quantum dots formed a type II heterojunction with the TiO2 nanowire arrays rather than serving as carrier-trapping sites. In the self-assembly system, the TiO2 nanowire arrays provide a charge-transfer channel for the WO3 quantum dots, greatly improving the contribution of the WO3 quantum dots to the photocurrent. Quantitative calculations showed that the improvement of the bulk carrier-separation efficiency was the reason for the enhanced photoelectrochemical performance of the self-assembled system. The photocurrent density of the optical self-assembled system at 1.23 V (vs. RHE) was similar to 5.5 times as high as that of the TiO2 nanowire arrays. More importantly, the self-assembled system exhibited excellent photoelectrochemical stability.
