Abstract

Herein, TiO₂/Bi₂S₃ composite photoanode was prepared by loading Bi₂S₃ nanomaterials on the surface of TiO₂ nanorods to promote the separation and transfer of charge carriers. By controlling the concentration of precursors, the morphology of Bi₂S₃ was modulated from nanosheets to nanoflowers then to nanorods. Benefited from the advantaged three-dimensional structure, TiO₂ decorated with Bi₂S₃ achieved the elevated charge carrier transport. Moreover, the constructed type II heterojunction between TiO₂ and Bi₂S₃ facilitated the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes. With the synergistic effect of structure modulation and heterojunction construction, TiO₂/Bi₂S₃ composite photoanode obtained the optimal photocurrent density of 0.25 mA/cm², which is 5 times that of pristine TiO₂.

将 Bi2S3 纳米花融入 TiO2 纳米棒以提高光电化学水分离性能

本文通过在 TiO2 纳米棒表面负载 Bi2S3 纳米材料，制备了 TiO2/Bi2S3 复合光阳极，以促进电荷载流子的分离和转移。通过控制前驱体的浓度，Bi2S3 的形态从纳米片状变为纳米花状，再变为纳米棒状。得益于三维结构的优势，用 Bi2S3 装饰的 TiO2 实现了更高的电荷载流子传输。此外，TiO2 和 Bi2S3 之间构建的 II 型异质结促进了光生电子和空穴的分离。在结构调制和异质结构建的协同作用下，TiO2/Bi2S3 复合光阳极获得了 0.25 mA/cm2 的最佳光电流密度，是原始 TiO2 的 5 倍。
