Dual textured BiVO4/Sb:SnO2 heterostructure for enhanced photoelectrochemical Water-splitting

Tuning the Carrier Transfer Behavior of Coaxial ZnO/ZnS/ZnIn2S4Nanorods with a Coherent Lattice Heterojunction Structure for Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation

“…This shows that the introduction of the ZnO/ZnS heterojunction and ZIS cocatalyst can effectively prevent ZnO from suffering from photocorrosion. [45,46] Meanwhile, Figure 6b also proves the above point. ZnO/ZnS and ZnO/ZnS/ZIS have larger open-circuit potential (OCP) values (OCP=OCV light À OCV dark ) than pure ZnO, indicating that they have higher band bending at the electrode/electrolyte interface, [47] which is consistent with the M-S analysis.…”

Crystal facet and phase engineering for advanced water splitting

“…Based on these results, highly (001) facet-oriented BiVO 4 was fabricated from epitaxial Sb doped SnO 2 , showing a high photoactivity. 125 Also, in the theoretical study, this facet showed the lowest calculated overpotential. 126 Another photoactive facet of monoclinic BiVO 4 is the (040) plane since it has the lowest potential for trapping photogenerated charges.…”

Cobalt-plasma treatment enables structural reconstruction of a CoOx/BiVO4 composite for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting

“…S1(a) (ESI†), and the BiVO 4 grown on FTO has a preferential [001]-orientation as reported before. 16 It is expected to exhibit a better PEC performance due to its good photo-carrier transport capacity, which has been reported by In Sun Cho et al 17,18 There is no second phase and the host phase is maintained well, which means that the treatment does not affect the bulk structure of BiVO 4 . Cobalt is uniformly distributed as shown in Fig.…”
