Electrospun CuWO4 nanofibers for visible light photocatalysis

Interfacial engineering of CuWO4/WO3 thin films precisely fabricated by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis for improved solar water splitting

“…15–17 However, the PEC performance of CuWO 4 photoanodes is seriously impeded by the poor charge transfer and slow surface reaction kinetics. 18,19 Up to date, numerous strategies including controlling the morphology, 20 doping with exotic elements, 21 establishing heterojunctions, 22–24 loading with precious metals, 25 and incorporating with surface cocatalysts, 26 have been proposed to improve the PEC performance of CuWO 4 photoanodes. Particularly, constructing heterostructures with a built-in electric field is one of the most effective strategies to accelerate photogenerated charge separation and transfer.…”

Evaluation of the fuel cell performances of TiO2/PAN electrospun carbon-based electrodes

“…Nanoparticle modified nanofibers have been successfully applied in divergent areas such as catalysis [1][2][3], tissue engineering [4], photochemical applications [5][6][7], capacitors [8], energy applications [9], membrane electrodes in fuel cells [10], etc... Fuel cells (FC) are environmentally friendly alternative power sources [11] and until now from solid oxide to microbial FCs various studies have been reported which use the advantage of electrospun polymers [10,[12][13][14][15]. Electrospun polymers exhibit unique electrochemical activity.…”

Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis‐assisted Fabrication of Ultrathin CuWO4 Films with Improved Photoelectrochemical Performance

“…[18,19] Up to date, to improve the PEC performance of CuWO 4 photoanodes, extensive research works focus on preparing CuWO 4 photocatalysts with different nanostructures or morphology by various chemical methods. [20][21][22][23] However, the resultant granular CuWO 4 photocatalysts in powder form not only complicate the fabrication of final photoanodes but also may limit their intrinsic photoelectrochemical activity for practical applications after fabricating into photoelectrodes by incorporating with binder and a conductive agent. As such, directly fabricating CuWO 4 film photoanodes with improved PEC performance will be more attractive and favorable for integrating into PEC devices toward practical applications.…”
