研究目的
Investigating the enhancement of photoelectrochemical water oxidation efficiency through the modification of WO3 photoanodes with hexagonal boron nitride quantum dots (h-BNQDs) to improve charge separation and reduce recombination.
研究成果
The incorporation of BNQDs into WO3 photoanodes significantly enhances photoelectrochemical water oxidation efficiency by improving charge separation and reducing recombination, as evidenced by a 2.4-fold increase in photocurrent density and a two-fold increase in charge carrier density.
研究不足
The study does not address the long-term stability of the modified photoanodes under continuous operation or the scalability of the synthesis process for industrial applications.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the hydrothermal synthesis of WO3 nanoblocks and BNQDs, followed by the modification of WO3 photoanodes with BNQDs using a chemical bath deposition technique.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Sodium tungstate dihydrate and melamine were used as precursors for WO3 and BNQDs, respectively.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments included X-ray diffraction (Rigaku SmartLab 9 kW), field emission scanning electron microscopy (Zeiss Sigma 300), and field emission transmission electron microscopy (JEOL JEM 2100F).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
WO3 nanoblocks were synthesized hydrothermally, and BNQDs were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The WO3-BN photoanodes were prepared by immersing WO3 thin films in BNQDs solution.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Photoelectrochemical measurements were conducted using a CHI760E electrochemical workstation, and data were analyzed using Mott-Schottky plots and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
