Abstract

Heterojunction

Nanorods WO3/BiVO4

Photocatalytic water splitting

Control and Systems Engineering

In this work we report on the development and realization of a nanostructured heterojunction photoanode that is based on an extremely thin absorber layer for effective separation and transfer of photo-induced charge carriers to enhance the water splitting process. We demonstrate this concept on a WO /BiVO +CoPi core-shell nanostructure, which was realized with the combination of Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD) and Electrochemical Deposition (ED) techniques, and report a record of a generated photocurrent that is close to 90% of the theoretical maximum value with further possible practical application in a μ-fuel generation device.
