Ge-doped ZnO nanorods grown on FTO for photoelectrochemical water splitting with exceptional photoconversion efficiency

Nanoscale ZnO/α‐Fe2O3 Heterostructures: Toward Efficient and Low‐Cost Photoanodes for Water Splitting

“…It is also shown a maximum IPCE peak (54%) at ≈405 nm, a value that is much higher than the ones reported for pristine ZnO. [ 91 ]…”

Controllable growth of Cu–Bi co-doped ZnO nanospheres on cotton fabrics and a study on their photocatalytic performance in visible light

“…However, at present, most reports mainly focus on single-element doping, while less research emphasis has been placed on multi-element codoping; the photocatalytic activity of ZnO under visible light is not improved to the greater extent. [25][26][27] According to literature research, it is very difficult to grow ZnO nanospheres with a controllable morphology on cotton fabric with a so substrate, because many factors in the reaction process will affect the morphology. Meanwhile, doping with elements has always been the focus of improving the photocatalytic performance of ZnO.…”

Gradient doping of Cu(I) and Cu(II) in ZnO nanorod photoanode by electrochemical deposition for enhanced photocurrent generation

“…Intensive studies carried out on ZnO have led to the synthesis of various morphological structures from 1D to 3D Intensive studies conducted on ZnO have led to the synthesis of various morphological structures from 1D to 3D [5], leading to their use in numerous applications such as solar cells [6][7][8][9], photo-catalysis [10][11][12], photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting [13,14], self-cleaning surfaces [15], supercapacitor [16], sensors and biosensors [17,18]. The synthesis of ZnO is based on different manufacturing processes including sputtering [19], spray pyrolysis [20], hydrothermal [21], sol gel [22] and electrodeposition [23,24].…”
