摘要
尽管三氧化钨(WO3)具有光化学和光电化学应用的潜力,但由于其宽的带隙和快速的载流子重组,它存在局限性。在这里,通过加入富含缺陷的MoO3-x纳米片,WO3薄膜的光电化学性能得到了提高。WO3薄膜采用简单的聚合物辅助沉积(PAD)方法制备,随后通过滴铸法制备了富含缺陷的MoO3-x纳米片。电镜结果显示,WO3呈现出一种凝聚的纳米球状结构,其中有几个裂缝,其中MoO3-x纳米片被锚定。在光电化学性能方面,最佳WO3/MoO3-x薄膜在太阳模拟器和LED 427 nm光照下的光电流密度分别为1.30±0.12 mA cm - 2和3.20±0.2 mA cm - 2,是裸WO3光电流密度的两倍。这种增强的性能归因于II型异质结的形成,这有利于更有效的电荷载流子分离,以及MoO3-x对析氧反应的催化增强。
Tailoring WO3 photoelectrodes with defect-rich MoO3-x nanosheets for efficient water splitting reaction
Despite its potential for photochemical and photoelectrochemical applications, tungsten trioxide (WO3) presents limitations due to its wide bandgap and rapid charge carrier recombination. Here, the photoelectrochemical performance of WO3 films were enhanced by incorporating defect-rich MoO3-x nanosheets. The WO3 films were produced using a simple polymer-assisted deposition (PAD) method and subsequently modified with defect-rich MoO3-x nanosheets, prepared via solvothermal synthesis, by drop-casting. Electronic microscopy revealed that WO3 exhibited an agglomerated nano-globular structure with several fissures where the MoO3-x nanosheets were anchored. In terms of photoelectrochemical performance, the optimal WO3/MoO3-x film exhibited photocurrent densities of 1.30 ± 0.12 mA cm−2 and 3.20 ± 0.2 mA cm−2 under solar simulator and LED 427 nm illumination, respectively, doubling the photocurrent density of bare WO3. This enhanced performance was attributed to the formation of a type II heterojunction, which facilitates more efficient charge carrier separation and due to the catalytic enhancement for the oxygen evolution reaction provided by MoO3-x.
