研究目的
Investigating the enhancement of photocatalytic water splitting efficiency using SnO2 quantum dots interspersed multiphase TiO2 heterojunctions.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated that SnO2 QD-doping in nanoscaled multiphase TiO2 NRs heterojunctions significantly enhances photocatalytic water splitting efficiency. The optimal Sn/Ti ratio of 1/3 exhibited superior optical adsorption, high photocatalytic activity, and enhanced IPCE in the UV region. The material also showed potential as a self-recharging power supply, opening new avenues for solar energy conversion and storage applications.
研究不足
The study is limited by the optimal doping ratio of SnO2 QD for enhancing photocatalytic activity, beyond which the efficiency decreases. Additionally, the self-recharging mechanism's long-term stability and scalability for practical applications require further investigation.
