“…The same peak also can be found from other samples with different metal precursors as shown in Figure S2. The diffraction peak of Au (111) at 38.1° is also observed, corroborating the successful deposition of Au nanoparticles . Additionally, the size of Au nanoparticles is estimated based on the Scherrer equation: D = 0.89 × λ/(β cos θ) (2), where D is the average grain diameter, λ is the wavelength of X-rays (λ = 0.154 nm for Cu Kα radiation), and β is the half-peak width of the diffraction peak at 2θ.…”

In this paper, we successfully fabricated CuBi2O4 and nitrogen,cuprum-codoped carbon nanosheet (N,Cu–C) heterostructure connected by Au nanoparticles, which was applied in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting for the first time. The Au nanoparticle in situ decoration on the material surface was carried out by simple photoreduction. Owing to the plasmon resonance effect and low charge transfer resistance of Au nanoparticles, CuBi2O4/Au/N,Cu–C hybrids exhibited enhanced photocurrent compared with traditional CuBi2O4 and CuBi2O4/N,Cu–C. Typically, the as-prepared photoelectrode displayed an optimal photoelectric conversion (0.17%, at 0.4 V vs RHE) and PEC photocurrent (0.31 mA cm–2, at 100 mW cm–2 and 0.5 V vs RHE) that is about 5 times that of pure CuBi2O4. The enhanced PEC water splitting ability can be mainly attributed to the N,Cu-codoped carbon nanosheets as the passivation layer and Au nanoparticles as an electron relay for electron transport and a plasmonic photosensitizer for increased light absorption.

“…Obviously, ZAZ films show an prominent diffraction peak locating at 28.4°, corresponding to the cubic structure of ZnS (111) orientation. 18) Though the peak intensity of Au film is very weak, because it is prepared at room temperature and may be amorphous structure, it can still be seen that its peak locates at about 2θ = 38.3°, belonging to Au(111) orientation. Compared with the diffraction peak of Au, the diffraction peak of ZnS is stronger and sharper, and its FWHM is narrower, which indicates that the crystalline quality of ZnS is better.…”

ZnS/Au/ZnS (ZAZ) transparent conductive tri-layer films with different Au layer thickness have been prepared by a pulsed laser deposition technique, and the effect of Au layer thickness on the optical and electrical properties of ZAZ films has been studied in detail. As-deposited ZAZ films showed an intense X-ray diffraction peak corresponding to ZnS (111) orientation and a very weak peak belonging to the Au (111) plane. The optical transmittance first increases and then decreases with the increase of Au layer thickness, which is due to the fact that Au changes from discontinuous island-shape to near-continuous structure when Au increases from 2 to 10 nm, and when Au is above 10 nm, the reflection of Au layer is enhanced. With the increase of Au layer thickness, both the sheet resistance and the resistivity of ZAZ films decrease, and the carrier concentration and the mobility increase. When the Au layer thickness is 10 nm, ZAZ films have the best figure of merit of 2.44 × 10−3 Ω−1.
