In this study, a Bi2MoO6/TiO2 heterojunction was constructed to broaden light absorption and accelerate oxidation kinetics, leading to highly effective water splitting. The Bi2MoO6/TiO2 heterojunction exhibited significantly higher photocurrent density and better electron transfer properties compared to pristine TiO2, promoting the separation of electron-hole pairs. This work provides a novel strategy for TiO2-based heterojunction with great potential for photoelectrochemical water splitting applications.
Achieving highly effective water splitting based on conventional TiO2 photoanode is challenging due to its poor visible light response and low electrical conductivity. Herein, a Bi2MoO6/TiO2 heterojunction with a suitable band structure is constructed to broaden light absorption and accelerate oxidation kinetics. In particular, the highest photocurrent density (0.35 mA cm-2 at 1.23 V vs. RHE) of Bi2MoO6/TiO2 is 2.1 times higher than that of pristine TiO2. The integrated Bi2MoO6 nanoflakes enrich more reactive sites and charge transfer tunnels. The surface hole injection efficiency and electron lifetime of Bi2MoO6/TiO2 are 1.4 and 5.5 times larger than those of bare TiO2, respectively. Additionally, the activation energy and charge transfer resistance of Bi2MoO6/TiO2 electrodes are decreased remarkably, dramatically promoting the separation of electron-hole pairs. This work offers a novel strategy for TiO2-based heterojunction with great potential for application in photoelectrochemical water splitting.
