In this study, hierarchical structures were constructed by encapsulating porous BiVO4 nanorod arrays with FeOOH and ZnFe layered double hydroxide (ZnFe LDH), aiming to achieve excellent transfer and separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The as-prepared ternary photoanode, BVO/FeOOH/ZnFe LDH, exhibited enhanced visible light absorption, increased carrier density, lower charge transfer resistance, boosted charge injection, bulk separation efficiency, and enhanced PEC performance compared to bare BiVO4. This work provides insights for enhancing the visible light response and boosting PEC performance in BiVO4 heterostructural photoanodes.
In this paper, porous BiVO4 nanorod arrays were encapsulated with FeOOH and ZnFe layered double hydroxide (ZnFe LDH) for the construction of hierarchical structures to achieve excellent transfer and separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. With the decoration of FeOOH and ZnFe LDH, the as-prepared BVO/FeOOH/ZnFe LDH ternary photoanode exhibits enhanced visible light absorption, increased carrier density, lower charge transfer resistance, boosted charge injection, bulk separation efficiency, and enhanced PEC performance, as compared with that of bare BiVO4. The experimental results suggest improved electron transport and matched energy bands, along with the accelerated hole capture and improved water oxidation kinetics from cocatalysts. In addition, with the decoration of FeOOH and ZnFe LDH, the as-prepared BVO/FeOOH/ZnFe LDH ternary photoanode exhibited outstanding structural stability during the application process. This work could give a perspective for investigating photoelectrochemical water splitting in a BiVO4 heterostructural photoanode for an enhanced visible light response and boosted PEC performance.
