Abstract:Nanocrystalline Bi2S3 shells were conformally deposited on ZnO nanowire arrays via a successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction approach. Microstructure, optical, and electric properties of the as-prepared ZnO/Bi2S3 core/shell nanowire heterostructures were thoroughly investigated using various characterization and electrochemical methods. Compared with the pristine ZnO photoanode (−734 mV and 0.57 mA·cm−2), the ZnO/Bi2S3 photoanode with a type-II heterojunction exhibited a more negative shift in the coupl… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
