Multifunctional WO3/NiCo2O4 heterojunction with extensively exposed bimetallic Ni/Co redox reaction sites for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting

“…[8,9] Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a promising method for converting endless solar energy into available hydrogen energy in an environmentally friendly way. [10][11][12][13] As the most important component of PEC water splitting, numerous photoelectrodes including n-type semiconductors and p-type semiconductors have been developed, such as TiO 2 , [14,15] BiVO 4 , [16,17] ZnO, [18,19] ZnIn 2 S 4 , [20,21] Fe 2 O 3 , [22,23] WO 3 , [24,25] CdS, [26,27] Cu 2 O [28,29] and CuO. [30,31] In particular, WO 3 has captured wide attention as an outstanding semiconductor photoanode among these photoelectrodes due to the moderate hole diffusion length of about 150 nm, satisfactory electron transmission capability of about 12 cm 2 V À 1 s À 1 and opportune band gap of 2.5~2.8 eV.…”

Modification of 1D TiO2 nanowires with GaOxNy by atomic layer deposition for TiO2@GaOxNy core–shell nanowires with enhanced photoelectrochemical performance

“…As a potentially efficient and sustainable strategy for addressing the global energy problem, particularly for the production of hydrogen, the photocatalytically driven splitting of water using semiconductor catalysts has been widely studied and applied in modern society. 1,2 During recent decades, photocatalytic systems based on two or more semiconductors have been constructed to meet the requirements for a high photoelectrochemical (PEC) activity for water splitting. 3,4 In general, in these systems, one semiconductor material can enhance light absorption while the second semiconductor material can provide more reaction sites and catalytic activity.…”

Carbon Nanoarrays Embedded with Metal Compounds for High‐Performance Flexible Supercapacitors

“…[3][4][5][6] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), constructed using both organic and inorganic components, have been considered as a new type of precursors, thanks to its controllable morphology, size and structure. [15][16][17][18][19][20] Recently, MOF-derived 2D nano-array materials with high porosity and adjustable structure are widely used. After pyrolysis of MOF, without much change of morphology, MOF-derived materials have large surface areas and good electrical conductivity.…”

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Co-MOF derived materials with highly controllable structures have been ideal materials in many fields, such as magnetism, gas adsorption and separation, biomedical and energy storage. [15][16][17][18][19][20] Recently, MOF-derived 2D nano-array materials with high porosity and adjustable structure are widely used. Large horizontal size and ultra-thin thickness lead to very high specific surface area, surface atomic ratio and exposed superficial active sites.…”
