Optimizing photocatalytic water oxidation by FeMnOx bimetallic cocatalyst on Zn-doped BiVO4 via magnetron sputter deposition
Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) has been used as an efficient photocatalyst for water oxidation. However, pristine BiVO4 suffers from recombination due to its short hole diffusion length and fast electron-hole recombination, which hinders photocatalytic water oxidation. To enhance the water photo-oxidation, here we constructed Zn-doped BiVO4 and then deposited bimetallic FeMnOx on its surface via Magnetron Sputtering. Zn doping improved the optical absorption by red-shifting the bandgap of BiVO4. Crystalloghafically, it increased growth towards (040) direction and enhanced V-O bond lengths. Moreover, the Zn doping induces oxygen vacancies that suppress charge recombination, as confirmed by EPR analysis. Zn-doped BiVO4 showed an incredible enhancement in the photocatalytic O2 evolution of 135 μmol as compared to the pure BiVO4 (90 μmol). The O2 evolution was further enhanced to 154 µmol after loading bimetallic FeMnOx cocatalysts on Zn-doped BiVO4, which is attributed to the improved charge transportation via cocatalysts from the BiVO4 surface.
期刊介绍:
Applied Catalysis A: General publishes original papers on all aspects of catalysis of basic and practical interest to chemical scientists in both industrial and academic fields, with an emphasis onnew understanding of catalysts and catalytic reactions, new catalytic materials, new techniques, and new processes, especially those that have potential practical implications.
Papers that report results of a thorough study or optimization of systems or processes that are well understood, widely studied, or minor variations of known ones are discouraged. Authors should include statements in a separate section "Justification for Publication" of how the manuscript fits the scope of the journal in the cover letter to the editors. Submissions without such justification will be rejected without review.
