Photo-electrochemical properties of Sb2S3/TiO2 heterostructures integrally synthesis by hydrothermal method

Emerging Chalcogenide Thin Films for Solar Energy Harvesting Devices

“…The first applications of Sb 2 S 3 involved forming a heterojunction with other materials such as NiO, , TiO 2 , − BiVO 4 , WO 3 , − ZnO, , Fe 2 O 3 , CuInS 2 , and Sb 2 O 3 . , In these cases, Sb 2 S 3 mostly functions to increase the photoanode light absorption edge and introduce a visible light response due to the high band gap of photoanode materials such as TiO 2 and WO 3 . The first application of Sb 2 S 3 as a standalone photoanode material was reported by DeAngelis et al where a photocurrent of 0.6 mA cm –2 was achieved at 1 V RHE without any additional overlayers .…”

Titanium Dioxide Thin Films for Environmental Applications

“…The hydrothermal technique (Figure 11) is a convenient wet way to produce well crystalline materials, with suitably tuned size and shape of particles at temperatures between 180 and 300°C. J. Ben Naceur et al [13] have prepared TiO 2 nanorods (NRAs) thin film by mixing of hydrochloric acid (HCl), distilled water and Titanium-isopropoxide [Ti(OCH(CH 3 ) 2 )]. The mixture was magnetically agitated then transferred to Teflon-coated stainless-steel autoclave.…”

Enhanced photoelectrochemical performance of TiO2 nanorod array films based on TiO2 compact layers synthesized by a two-step method

“…EIS was employed to investigate the charge transfer processes at various interfaces. 53,54 Frequency sweeping test from 1 Hz to 0.1 MHz at a bias voltage of 0.3 V was applied. A 0.5 M Na 2 SO 4 solution was used as the electrolyte, while platinum electrode, and saturated calomel electrode were used as the counter and reference electrodes, respectively.…”
