Boosting photocatalytic water oxidation on lead chromate through crystal facet engineering
Although crystal facet engineering of semiconductor crystals has been demonstrated to be effective in particulate photocatalysts for solar energy conversion, it is imperative to rationally regulate the exposed crystal facets and their configurations to improve charge separation efficiency. In this study, focusing on visible-light-driven water oxidation photocatalyst lead chromate (PbCrO4), we find that a flux-assisted treatment enables the precise tuning of the hole-accumulating facets of anisotropic PbCrO4 crystal, transitioning the top surface from {−101} to {001} facets while preserving its spatial charge separation characteristics. Owing to the superior hole-accumulating property and water oxidation kinetics of the {001} facets, the resulting Flux-PbCrO4 crystals achieve a charge separation efficiency exceeding 75%, leading to a remarkable improvement in photocatalytic water oxidation activity. Further incorporation of cocatalysts onto the Flux-PbCrO4 crystals results in an apparent quantum efficiency of 18.5% at 500 nm for photocatalytic water oxidation.
