The GaN-RMNWphotoanode exhibited a current density of 2.62 mA/cm2 and an applied photonto-current efficiency of 1.65% at 0.6 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode. These values are considerably higher than those (1.16 mA/cm2 and 1.24%) of the photoanode based on GaN NWs with uniform hexagonal-pillar structures. The improved PEC-WS using the GaN-RMNW photoanode is attributed to the increase in the number of carriers participating in the PEC-WS reaction. The increase in the effective carriers is primarily due to the high crystallinity of the GaN RMNWs and the increase in the absorption rate of the incident light by the reverse-mesa structures. In addition, the energy-band structure between the GaN RMNWs and Si(111) promotes the separation of photogenerated carriers. Consequently, it reduces carrier recombination inside the photoanode, thereby enabling a high-performance PEC-WS.","PeriodicalId":8223,"journal":{"name":"Applied Science and Convergence Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81577774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The test results revealed that in the absence of an exit nozzle, cathode arc roots cause arcing on the electrically floated torch housing, producing an unstable plasma jet. However, in the presence of an exit nozzle, when injecting the secondary gas with a swirl through a gap between the exit nozzle and front electrode, it was confirmed that cathode arc roots can be controlled to form only on the surface of the front electrode, producing a stable plasma jet without arcing on the torch housing. Additionally, the presence of an exit nozzle was observed to have little influence on the voltage–current characteristics of a reverse polarity hollow electrode plasma torch. Instead, heat loss to the coolant was reduced compared to that in the absence of an exit nozzle, thereby improving thermal efficiency.","PeriodicalId":8223,"journal":{"name":"Applied Science and Convergence Technology","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87043694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
