Superior photoelectrochemical properties of BiVO4 nanofilms enhanced by PbS quantum dots decoration

Boosting Water Splitting Performance of BiVO4 Photoanode through Selective Surface Decoration of Ag2S

“…where I pH is the measured photocurrent density (mA/cm 2 ), λ is the wavelength of the incident light and J light is the power intensity (mW/cm 2 ) at each wavelength. IPCE value of bare BiVO 4 is about 10 % in the range from 360 to 560 nm, which is similar to the previously report . After decoration of Ag 2 S nanoparticles, the 30‐Ag 2 S/BiVO 4 shows an obvious enhancement of IPCE, and the result is in agreement with the measurement of the photocurrent density.…”

CdS/ZnS/ZnO ternary heterostructure nanofibers fabricated by electrospinning for excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution without co-catalyst

“…Photocatalysis is considered one of the effective routes to solve the above two issues [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Since the pioneering work of Fujishima and Honda in 1972 [8] on photoelectrochemical water splitting over a TiO2 electrode, photocatalytic H2 generation has been investigated as one of the most promising routes to convert solar energy into available chemical energy [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Until now, many semiconductors, such as TiO2 [16][17][18], g-C3N4 [19][20][21][22], ZnO [23,24], and CdS [25,26], have been explored as photocatalysts for hydrogen generation by water splitting.…”
