Titanium dioxide is a promising photoanode material for water oxidation, but it is substantially limited by its poor efficiency in the visible light range. Herein, an innovative carbon/nitrogen coimplantation method is utilized to realize the “Midas touch” transformation of TiO2 nanowire (NW) arrays for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting in visible light. These modified golden–yellow rutile TiO2 NW arrays (C/N‐TiO2) exhibit remarkably enhanced absorption in visible light regions and more efficient charge separation and transfer. As a result, the photocurrent density of carbon/nitrogen co‐implanted TiO2 under visible light (>420 nm) can reach 0.76 mA cm?2, which far exceeds the value of 3 µA cm?2 seen for pristine TiO2 nanowire arrays at 0.8 V versus Ag/AgCl. An incident photon to electron conversion efficiency of ≈14.8% is achieved at 450 nm on C/N‐TiO2 without any other cocatalysts. The ion implantation doping approach, combined with codoping strategies, is proved to be an effective strategy for enhancing the photoelectrochemical conversion and can enable further improvement of the PEC water‐splitting performance of many other semiconductor photoelectrodes. 相似文献

Bulk and surface charge recombination of photoelectrode are two key processes that significantly hinder solar‐to‐fuel conversion of photoelectrochemical cell (PEC). In this study, the function of a “crystal‐deficient” overlayer is unveiled, which outperforms a traditionally used amorphous or crystalline overlayer in PEC water splitting by exhibiting a high conductivity and large electron diffusion length to enable unlimited electron collection. The optimized ≈2.5 nm thickness of the “crystal‐deficient” shell results in a depletion layer with a width of 3 nm, which overcomes the flat band limitation of the photovoltage and increases the light absorptivity in the wavelength range from 300 to 420 nm. In addition, a 50‐fold increase in the conductivity yields a one‐order‐of‐magnitude increase in the diffusion length of an electron (Ln )(≈20 μm), allowing for unlimited electron collection in the 1.9 μm TiO2 nanowire array with the “crystal‐deficient” shell. The controllable “crystal‐deficient” overlayer in rutile TiO2 nanowires photoanode achieves a photocurrent density greater than 2.0 mA cm?2 at 1.23 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), a 1.18% applied bias photon‐to‐current efficiency at 0.49 V versus RHE, a faradaic efficiency greater than 93.5% at 0.6 V versus Pt under air mass 1.5G simulated solar light illumination (100 mW cm?2). 相似文献

The straightforward and inexpensive fabrication of stabilized and activated photoelectrodes for application to tandem photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is reported. Semiconductors such as Si, WO3, and BiVO4 can be coated with a composite layer formed upon hydrolytic decomposition of heterobimetallic single source precursors (SSPs) based on Ti and Ni, or Ti and Co in a simple single‐step process under ambient conditions. The resulting 3d‐transition metal oxide composite films are multifunctional, as they protect the semiconductor electrode from corrosion with an amorphous TiO2 coating and act as bifunctional electrocatalysts for H2 and O2 evolution based on catalytic Ni or Co species. Thus, this approach enables the use of the same precursors for both photoelectrodes in tandem PEC water splitting, and SSP chemistry is thereby established as a highly versatile low‐cost approach to protect and activate photoelectrodes. In an optimized system, SSP coating of a Si photocathode and a BiVO4 photoanode resulted in a benchmark noble metal‐free dual‐photoelectrode tandem PEC cell for overall solar water splitting with an applied bias solar‐to‐hydrogen conversion efficiency of 0.59% and a half‐life photostability of 5 h. 相似文献

Constructing core/shell nanostructures with optimal structure and composition could maximize the solar light utilization. Here, using an Al nanocone array as a substrate, a well‐defined regular array of AZO/TiO2 core/shell nanocones with uniformly dispersed Au nanoparticles (AZO/TiO2/Au NCA) is successfully realized through three sequential steps of atomic layer deposition, physical vapor deposition, and annealing processes. By tuning the structural and compositional parameters, the advantages of light trapping and short carrier diffusion from the core/shell nanocone array, as well as the surface plasmon resonance and catalytic effects from the Au nanoparticles can be maximally utilized. Accordingly, a remarkable photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance can be acquired and the photocurrent density of the AZO/TiO2/Au NCA electrode reaches up to 1.1 mA cm?2 at 1.23 V, versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) under simulated sunlight illumination, which is five times that of a flat AZO/TiO2 electrode (0.22 mA cm?2). Moreover, the photoconversion of the AZO/TiO2/Au NCA electrode approaches 0.73% at 0.21 V versus RHE, which is one of the highest values with the lowest applied bias ever reported in Au/TiO2 PEC composites. These results demonstrate a feasible route toward the scalable fabrication of well‐modulated core/shell nanostructures and can be easily applied to other metal/semiconductor composites for high‐performance PEC. 相似文献

Strong interest exists in the development of organic–inorganic lead halide perovskite photovoltaics and of photoelectrochemical (PEC) tandem absorber systems for solar fuel production. However, their scalability and durability have long been limiting factors. In this work, it is revealed how both fields can be seamlessly merged together, to obtain scalable, bias‐free solar water splitting tandem devices. For this purpose, state‐of‐the‐art cesium formamidinium methylammonium (CsFAMA) triple cation mixed halide perovskite photovoltaic cells with a nickel oxide (NiOx) hole transport layer are employed to produce Field's metal‐epoxy encapsulated photocathodes. Their stability (up to 7 h), photocurrent density (–12.1 ± 0.3 mA cm?2 at 0 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE), and reproducibility enable a matching combination with robust BiVO4 photoanodes, resulting in 0.25 cm2 PEC tandems with an excellent stability of up to 20 h and a bias‐free solar‐to‐hydrogen efficiency of 0.35 ± 0.14%. The high reliability of the fabrication procedures allows scaling of the devices up to 10 cm2, with a slight decrease in bias‐free photocurrent density from 0.39 ± 0.15 to 0.23 ± 0.10 mA cm?2 due to an increasing series resistance. To characterize these devices, a versatile 3D‐printed PEC cell is also developed. 相似文献

Solution‐processed few‐layer MoS2 flakes are exploited as an active buffer layer in hybrid lead–halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Glass/FTO/compact‐TiO2/mesoporous‐TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3/MoS2/Spiro‐OMeTAD/Au solar cells are realized with the MoS2 flakes having a twofold function, acting both as a protective layer, by preventing the formation of shunt contacts between the perovskite and the Au electrode, and as a hole transport layer from the perovskite to the Spiro‐OMeTAD. As prepared PSC demonstrates a power conversion efficiency (η) of 13.3%, along with a higher lifetime stability over 550 h with respect to reference PSC without MoS2 (Δη/η = ?7% vs. Δη/η = ?34%). Large‐area PSCs (1.05 cm2 active area) are also fabricated to demonstrate the scalability of this approach, achieving η of 11.5%. Our results pave the way toward the implementation of MoS2 as a material able to boost the shelf life of large‐area perovskite solar cells in view of their commercialization. 相似文献

Recent advances in solar water splitting by using BiVO4 as a photoanode have greatly optimized charge carrier and reaction dynamics, but relatively wide bandgap and poor photostability are still bottlenecks. Here, an excellent photoanode of black BiVO4@amorphous TiO2?x to tackle both problems is reported. Its applied bias photon‐to‐current efficiency for solar water splitting is up to 2.5%, which is a new record for a single oxide photon absorber. This unique core–shell structure is fabricated by coating amorphous TiO2 on nanoporous BiVO4 with the aid of atomic layer deposition and further hydrogen plasma treatment at room temperature. The black BiVO4 with moderate oxygen vacancies reveals a bandgap reduction of ≈0.3 eV and significantly enhances solar utilization, charge transport and separation simultaneously, compared with conventional BiVO4. The amorphous layer of TiO2?x acts as both oxygen‐evolution catalyst and protection layer, which suppresses anodic photocorrosion to stabilize black BiVO4. This configuration of black BiVO4@amorphous TiO2?x may provide an effective strategy to prompt solar water splitting toward practical applications. 相似文献

Understanding the degradation mechanisms of photoelectrodes and improving their stability are essential for fully realizing solar‐to‐hydrogen conversion via photo‐electrochemical (PEC) devices. Although amorphous TiO2 layers have been widely employed as a protective layer on top of p‐type semiconductors to implement durable photocathodes, gradual photocurrent degradation is still unavoidable. This study elucidates the photocurrent degradation mechanisms of TiO2‐protected Sb2Se3 photocathodes and proposes a novel interface‐modification methodology in which fullerene (C60) is introduced as a photoelectron transfer promoter for significantly enhancing long‐term stability. It is demonstrated that the accumulation of photogenerated electrons at the surface of the TiO2 layer induces the reductive dissolution of TiO2, accompanied by photocurrent degradation. In addition, the insertion of the C60 photoelectron transfer promoter at the Pt/TiO2 interface facilitates the rapid transfer of photogenerated electrons out of the TiO2 layer, thereby yielding enhanced stability. The Pt/C60/TiO2/Sb2Se3 device exhibits a high photocurrent density of 17 mA cm?2 and outstanding stability over 10 h of operation, representing the best PEC performance and long‐term stability compared with previously reported Sb2Se3‐based photocathodes. This research not only provides in‐depth understanding of the degradation mechanisms of TiO2‐protected photocathodes, but also suggests a new direction to achieve durable photocathodes for photo‐electrochemical water splitting. 相似文献

Direct photo‐electrochemical (PEC) water splitting is of great practical interest for developing a sustainable energy systems, but remains a big challenge owing to sluggish charge separation, low efficiency, and poor stability. Herein, a 3D porous In2O3/In2S3 pyramid heterostructure array on a fluorine‐doped tin oxide substrate is fabricated by an ion exchange–induced synthesis strategy. Based on the synergistic structural and electronic modulations from density functional theory calculations and experimental observations, 3D porous In2O3/In2S3 photoanode by the protective layer delivers a low onset potential of ≈0.02 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), the highest photocurrent density of 8.2 mA cm?2 at 1.23 V versus RHE among all the In2S3 photoanodes reported to date, an incident photon‐to‐current efficiency of 76% at 400 nm, and high stability over 20 h for PEC water splitting are reported. This work provides an alternative promising prototype for the design and construction of novel heterostructures in robust PEC water splitting applications. 相似文献

The need for cost‐effective and sustainable power supplies has spurred a growing interest in hybrid energy harvesting systems, and the most elementary energy production process relies on intermittent solar power. Here, it is shown how the ambient mechanical energy leads to water splitting in a photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell boosted by a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). In this strategy, a flexible TENG collects and transforms mechanical energy into electric current, which boosts the PEC water splitting via the charged Li‐ion battery. Au nanoparticles are deposited on TiO2 nanoarrays for extending the available light spectrum to visible part by surface plasmon resonance effect, which yields a photocurrent density of 1.32 mA cm?2 under AM 1.5 G illumination and 0.12 mA cm?2 under visible light with a bias of 0.5 V. The TENG‐charged battery boosts the water splitting performance through coupling electrolysis and enhanced electron–hole separation efficiency. The hybrid cell exhibits an instantaneous current more than 9 mA with a working electrode area of 0.3 cm2, suggesting a simple but efficient route for simultaneously converting solar radiation and mechanical energy into hydrogen. 相似文献

Black TiO2 has demonstrated a great potential for a variety of renewable energy technologies. However, its practical application is heavily hindered due to lack of efficient hydrogenation methods and a deeper understanding of hydrogenation mechanisms. Here, a simple and straightforward hot wire annealing (HWA) method is presented to prepare black TiO2 (H–TiO2) nanorods with enhanced photo‐electrochemical (PEC) activity by means of atomic hydrogen [H]. Compared to conventional molecular hydrogen approaches, the HWA shows remarkable effectiveness without any detrimental side effects on the device structure, and simultaneously the photocurrent density of H–TiO2 reaches 2.5 mA cm?2 (at 1.23 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)). Due to the controllable and reproducible [H] flux, the HWA can be developed as a standard hydrogenation method for black TiO2. Meanwhile, the relationships between the wire temperatures, structural, optical, and photo‐electrochemical properties are systematically investigated to verify the improved PEC activity. Furthermore, the density functional theory (DFT) study provides a comprehensive insight not only into the highly efficient mechanism of the HWA approach but also its favorably low‐energy‐barrier hydrogenation pathway. The findings will have a profound impact on the broad energy applications of H–TiO2 and contribute to the fundamental understanding of its hydrogenation. 相似文献

This study introduces zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8 (ZIF‐8) as the first metal‐organic framework based transparent surface passivation layer for photo‐electrochemical (PEC) water splitting. A significant enhancement for PEC water oxidation is demonstrated based on the in situ seamless coating of ZIF‐8 surface passivation layer on Ni foam (NF) supported ZnO nanorod arrays photoanode. The PEC performance is improved by optimizing the ZIF‐8 thickness and by grafting Ni(OH)2 nanosheets as synergetic co‐catalyst. With respect to ZnO/NF, the optimized Ni(OH)2/ZIF‐8/ZnO/NF photoanode exhibits a two times larger photocurrent density of 1.95 mA cm?2 and also a two times larger incident photon to current conversion efficiency of 40.05% (350 nm) at 1.23 V versus RHE (VRHE) under AM 1.5 G. The synergetic surface passivation and the co‐catalyst modification contribute to prolonging the charge lifetime, to promoting the charge transfer, and to decreasing the overpotential for water oxidation. 相似文献

Tin sulfide (SnS) is one of the most promising solar cell materials, as it is abundant, environment friendly, available at low cost, and offers long‐term stability. However, the highest efficiency of the SnS solar cell reported so far remains at 4.36% even using the expensive atomic layer deposition process. This study reports on the fabrication of SnS solar cells by a solution process that employs rapid thermal treatment for few seconds under Ar gas flow after spin‐coating a precursor solution of SnCl2 and thiourea dissolved in dimethylformamide onto a nanostructured thin TiO2 electrode. The best‐performing cell exhibits power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.8% under 1 sun radiation conditions (AM1.5G). Moreover, secondary treatment using SnCl2 results in a significant improvement of 4.8% in PCE, which is one of the highest efficiencies among SnS‐based solar cells, especially with TiO2 electrodes. The thin film properties of SnS after SnCl2 secondary treatment are analyzed using grazing‐incidence wide‐angle X‐ray scattering, and high‐resolution transmittance electron microscopy. 相似文献

Compact TiO2 is widely used as an electron transport material in planar‐perovskite solar cells. However, TiO2‐based planar‐perovskite solar cells exhibit low efficiencies due to intrinsic problems such as the unsuitable conduction band energy and low electron extraction ability of TiO2. Herein, the planar TiO2 electron transport layer (ETL) of perovskite solar cells is modified with ionic salt CuI via a simple one‐step spin‐coating process. The p‐type nature of the CuI islands on the TiO2 surface leads to modification of the TiO2 band alignment, resulting in barrier‐free contacts and increased open‐circuit voltage. It is found that the polarity of the CuI‐modified TiO2 surface can pull electrons to the interface between the perovskite and the TiO2, which improves electron extraction and reduces nonradiative recombination. The CuI solution concentration is varied to control the electron extraction of the modified TiO2 ETL, and the optimized device shows a high efficiency of 19.0%. In addition, the optimized device shows negligible hysteresis, which is believed to be due to the removal of trap sites and effective electron extraction by CuI‐modified TiO2. These results demonstrate the hitherto unknown effect of p‐type ionic salts on electron transport material. 相似文献

Novel thin film composite photocathodes based on device‐grade Cu(In,Ga)Se2 chalcopyrite thin film absorbers and transparent conductive oxide Pt‐implemented TiO2 layers on top are presented for an efficient and stable solar‐driven hydrogen evolution. Thin films of phase‐pure anatase TiO2 are implemented with varying Pt‐concentrations in order to optimize simultaneously i) conductivity of the films, ii) electrocatalytic activity, and iii) light‐guidance toward the chalcopyrite. Thereby, high incident‐photon‐to‐current‐efficiencies of more than 80% can be achieved over the full visible light range. In acidic electrolyte (pH 0.3), the most efficient Pt‐implemented TiO2–Cu(In,Ga)Se2 composite electrodes reveal i) photocurrent densities up to 38 mA cm?2 in the saturation region (?0.4 V RHE, reversible hydrogen electrode), ii) 15 mA cm?2 at the thermodynamic potential for H2‐evolution (0 V RHE), and iii) an anodic onset potential shift for the hydrogen evolution (+0.23 V RHE). It is shown that the gradual increase of the Pt‐concentration within the TiO2 layers passes through an efficiency‐ and stability‐maximum of the device (5 vol% of Pt precursor solution). At this maximum, optimized light‐incoupling into the device‐grade chalcopyrite light‐absorber as well as electron conductance properties within the surface layer are achieved while no degradation are observed over more than 24 h of operation. 相似文献

Modulation of broadband light trapping through assembly of 3D structures and modification with narrow band‐gap semiconductors provide an effective way to improve the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance. Here, 3D‐branched ZnO nanowire arrays (NWAs) modified with cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles are designed and synthesized via solution chemical routes. The 3D‐branched ZnO NWA–CdS nanoparticle photoanodes show an excellent PEC performance in UV and visible region and the maximum photo‐to‐hydrogen conversion efficiency reaches to 3.1%. The high performance of 3D‐branched ZnO NWA–CdS composites is mainly attributed to the excellent carrier collection capability and high light‐trapping ability of 3D‐branched ZnO NWAs as well as the excellent photocatalytic activity of CdS nanoparticles in the visible region. In addition, the photocorrosion mechanism of 3D‐branched ZnO NWA–CdS photoanodes is systematically investigated, and a protective TiO2 layer is deposited onto the photoanodes to elevate the PEC stability. The results benefit a deeper understanding of the role of 3D‐branched structures decorated with narrow band‐gap semiconductors in solar water splitting. 相似文献

As a wide‐bandgap semiconductor, titanium dioxide (TiO2) with a porous structure has proven useful in dye‐sensitized solar cells, but its application in low‐cost, high‐efficiency inorganic photovoltaic devices based on materials such as Cu(InGa)Se2 or Cu2ZnSnS4 is limited. Here, a thin film made from solution‐processed TiO2 nanocrystals is demonstrated as an alternative to intrinsic zinc oxide (i‐ZnO) as the window layer of CuInSxSe1?x solar cells. The as‐synthesized, well‐dispersed, 6 nm TiO2 nanocrystals are assembled into thin films with controllable thicknesses of 40, 80, and 160 nm. The TiO2 nanocrystal films with thicknesses of 40 and 80 nm exhibit conversion efficiencies (6.2% and 6.33%, respectively) that are comparable to that of a layer of the typical sputtered i‐ZnO (6.42%). The conversion efficiency of the devices with a TiO2 thickness of 160 nm decreases to 2.2%, owing to the large series resistance. A 9‐hour reaction time leads to aggregated nanoparticles with a much‐lower efficiency (2%) than that of the well‐dispersed TiO2 nanoparticles prepared using a 15‐hour reaction time. Under optimized conditions, the champion TiO2 nanocrystal‐film‐based device shows even higher efficiency (9.2%) than a control device employing a typical i‐ZnO film (8.6%). 相似文献

A novel atomic stacking transporting layer (ASTL) based on 2D atomic sheets of titania (Ti1?δO2) is demonstrated in organic–inorganic lead halide perovskite solar cells. The atomically thin ASTL of 2D titania, which is fabricated using a solution‐processed self‐assembly atomic layer‐by‐layer deposition technique, exhibits the unique features of high UV transparency and negligible (or very low) oxygen vacancies, making it a promising electron transporting material in the development of stable and high‐performance perovskite solar cells. In particular, the solution‐processable atomically thin ASTL of 2D titania atomic sheets shows superior inhibition of UV degradation of perovskite solar cell devices, compared to the conventional high‐temperature sintered TiO2 counterpart, which usually causes the notorious instability of devices under UV irradiation. The discovery opens up a new dimension to utilize the 2D layered materials with a great variety of homostructrual or heterostructural atomic stacking architectures to be integrated with the fabrication of large‐area photovoltaic or optoelectronic devices based on the solution processes. 相似文献

A (040)‐crystal facet engineered BiVO4 ((040)‐BVO) photoanode is investigated for solar fuel production. The (040)‐BVO photoanode is favorable for improved charge carrier mobility and high photocatalytic active sites for solar light energy conversion. This crystal facet design of the (040)‐BVO photoanode leads to an increase in the energy conversion efficiency for solar fuel production and an enhancement of the oxygen evolution rate. The photocurrent density of the (040)‐BVO photoanode is determined to be 0.94 mA cm?2 under AM 1.5 G illumination and produces 42.1% of the absorbed photon‐to‐current conversion efficiency at 1.23 V (vs RHE, reversible hydrogen electrode). The enhanced charge separation efficiency and improved charge injection efficiency driven by (040) facet can produce hydrogen with 0.02 mmol h?1 at 1.23 V. The correlation between the (040)‐BVO photoanode and the solar fuel production is investigated. The results provide a promising approach for the development of solar fuel production using a BiVO4 photoanode. 相似文献

State‐of‐the‐art water‐oxidation catalysts (WOCs) in acidic electrolytes usually contain expensive noble metals such as ruthenium and iridium. However, they too expensive to be implemented broadly in semiconductor photoanodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting devices. Here, an Earth‐abundant CoFe Prussian blue analogue (CoFe‐PBA) is incorporated with core–shell Fe2O3/Fe2TiO5 type II heterojunction nanowires as composite photoanodes for PEC water splitting. Those deliver a high photocurrent of 1.25 mA cm?2 at 1.23 V versus reversible reference electrode in acidic electrolytes (pH = 1). The enhancement arises from the synergic behavior between the successive decoration of the hematite surface with nanolayers of Fe2TiO5 and then, CoFe‐PBA. The underlying physical mechanism of performance enhancement through formation of the Fe2O3/Fe2TiO5/CoFe‐PBA heterostructure reveals that the surface states’ electronic levels of hematite are modified such that an interfacial charge transfer becomes kinetically favorable. These findings open new pathways for the future design of cheap and efficient hematite‐based photoanodes in acidic electrolytes. 相似文献
