In this work, tungsten oxide (WO3) nanofibers were synthesized using electrospinning technique. Direct current electrophoretic deposition (DC-EPD) was conducted to deposit the nanofibers onto fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrodes. The photoelectrochemical performance of WO3 nanostructured electrodes was investigated and compared between the samples containing pristine WO3 and Ag/WO3 composite nanofibers. An up-to-6-fold enhancement in photoconversion efficiency (PCE) was obtained from Ag/WO3 composite nanofiber photoanode.
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.
