Nanoporous Fe-doped BiVO4 Modified with MIL-53 (Fe) for Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Stability and Water Splitting Perfromances
摘要： Great interest has been attracted to enhancing the photoelectrochemical performances of BiVO4. However, there have rarely been reported about addressing their PEC stability. Herein, it is proposed that Fe ions doping could enhance the stability and PEC performances of BiVO4, which may because it could improve the crystalline structure and eliminates the crystal defects of BiVO4. Moreover, it is found that metal–organic framework can play a co-catalyst role during the PEC experiments. We designed and fabricated nanoporous Fe-doped BiVO4 modified with MIL-53(Fe), which exhibits much higher PEC performance and stability than pristine BiVO4 and Fe-doped BiVO4. It is believed that MIL-53(Fe) can capture the photogenerated holes and thus facilitates the charge separation efficiency.

Two-Dimensional Non-Layered Selenium Nanoflakes: Facile Fabrications and Applications for Self-Powered Photo-Detector
摘要： Two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit many interesting properties, but most of two-dimensional materials are exfoliated from layered bulk materials, limiting the development of 2D material group. Recently, non-layered 2D materials have aroused a great attention due to their excellent catalysis performance, favored compatibility with silicon substrates and highly chemically active. With high photoconductivity, high responsivity and fast response time, non-layered selenium (Se) exhibits important applications in the field of optoelectronics. In this work, we use a simple liquid phase exfoliation method to fabricated 2D Se nanoflakes from bulk Se which possesses unique chain structure. The thickness of 2D Se nanoflakes was measured to be in the range of 5-10 nm. As-fabricated Se nanoflakes was used in a photodetector by photoelectrochemical (PEC) method, showing a high photocurrent density (1.28 μA/cm2) and photoresponsivity (10.45 μA/W). In addition, the long-term photoelectric measurements indicate that the 2D Se-based photodetector has good time and cycle stability. Our results show that 2D Se have promising potential in liquid-based photo-detectors.

Hierarchical Fe2O3 nanorods/TiO2 nanosheets heterostructure: Growth mechanism, enhanced visible-light photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical performances
摘要： A novel three-dimensional (3D) Fe2O3 nanorods (NRs)/TiO2 nanosheets (NSs) heterostructure is fabricated by employing the TiO2 NSs with dominant high-energy {0 0 1} facets as synthetic template via the facile hydrothermal and chemical bath deposition methods. The structure, morphology and optical property of 3D Fe2O3/TiO2 composites are examined, and the results demonstrate that these samples have pure phase, high crystallinity and good visible-light response. Furthermore, all Fe2O3/TiO2 composites exhibit the superior photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical (PEC) performances compared to pure TiO2 NSs, which should be ascribed to the larger surface area, better optical absorption and efficient electron-hole separation of 3D Fe2O3/TiO2 heterostructure. Among Fe2O3/TiO2 composites, the sample T3 obtained by using 0.05 M iron nitrate at 90 °C for 100 min exhibited the best visible-light photocatalytic activity and PEC performance, which achieves 89.3% photodegradation of Methyl Blue within 120 min and 2.39 mA cm?2 photocurrent density at a potential of 0 V, respectively. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency and photocurrent density of T3 are 1.83 and 11.95 times higher than that of pure TiO2 NSs. In addition, the detailed growth mechanism of Fe2O3 nanomaterials onto TiO2 NSs and the optimization mechanism of photocatalytic and PEC performances are also discussed in present paper.

Mixed-metal organic framework-coated ZnO nanowires array for efficient photoelectrochemical water oxidation
摘要： Designing of high-performance photoanodes is essential for efficient solar energy conversion in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Herein, we report an effective approach to synthesize three dimensional (3D) mixed-metal organic framework-coated ZnO nanowires array (ZnNi MOF@ZnO) for the effective PEC performance. The ZnO nanowires act as photon absorber as well as rapid charge transporter; whilst the ZnNi MOF provides the active sites for PEC process by lowering the energy barrier of water oxidation and suppressing electron-hole recombination. The 3D nanostructure of ZnNi MOF@ZnO nanowires array provides intimate interfacial contact through covalent interactions between the ZnNi MOF and ZnO nanowires which facilitates the rapid charge transfer during photocatalytic oxygen evolution reactions. As a result, the ZnNi MOF@ZnO nanowires array exhibited excellent photoelectrochemical water oxidation with very low onset potential (0.31 V vs. RHE) and high photocurrent density (1.40 mA/cm2) as compared to the Zn MOF @ZnO and ZnO nanowires array. This facile strategy provides a promising direction towards high performance photoanode design for adequate solar energy conversion.

Highly enhanced photoelectrochemical cathodic protection performance of the preparation of magnesium oxides modified TiO2 nanotube arrays
摘要： The magnesium oxide modified TiO2 nanotube arrays (TiO2 NTs) was prepared to investigate the photoelectrochemical (PEC) cathodic protection performance to 304 stainless steel (SS 304). With the annealing treatment at different temperature, the surface of the modified materials changed remarkably. The film-like Mg(OH)2 obtained at 400 °C transformed to MgO particles after treatment at 500 °C and 600 °C. Further thermal processing at 700 °C enables MgTixOy@TiO2 shell-core structure. Using photoelectrochemical approaches to study the series samples, the cathodic protection performance of the modified TiO2 NTs has significantly improved. The magnesium oxides modified TiO2 NTs treated at 600 °C (Ti-Mg-O 600) shows the best PEC cathodic protection to the underneath steel. Further investigation shows that the highly enhanced PEC cathodic protection performance of Ti-Mg-O 600 was attributed to the effective separation of photogenerated carriers, the increase of carrier concentration and the negative shift of the conduction band potential.

Microwave Hydrothermal Synthesis of In <sub/>2</sub> O <sub/>3</sub> -ZnO Nanocomposites and Their Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Properties
摘要： Indium oxide (In2O3) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposites were successfully synthesized through a facile microwave hydrothermal method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms (BET) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The morphology of In2O3-ZnO composites was observed to be like flowers, and the diameter of particles constituting the porous petal was about 30 nm. The photoelectrocatalytic test results showed that the photoelectrocatalytic methylene blue (MB) degradation efficiency using In2O3-ZnO nanocomposites as photocatalysts under visible light irradiation and a certain voltage could reached above 95.3% after 60 min, much higher than that of In2O3 particles and ZnO particles. The enhanced photoelectrocatalytic activity was attributed to the doping of In2O3 and applied voltage, which beneficially reduced the recombination of electrons and holes in the photoelectrocatalytic process, therefore, it promoted the production of active species (?OH and ?O2-).

Shedding light on biocatalysis: photoelectrochemical platforms for solar-driven biotransformation
摘要： Redox biocatalysis has come to the forefront because of its excellent catalytic efficiency, stereoselectivity, and environmental benignity. The green and sustainable biotransformation can be driven by photoelectrochemical (PEC) platforms where redox biocatalysis is coupled with photoelectrocatalysis. The main challenge is how to transfer photoexcited electrons to (or from) the enzyme redox centers for effective biotransformation using solar energy. This review commences with a conceptual discussion of biocatalytic PEC platforms and highlights recent advances in PEC-based biotransformation through cofactor regeneration or direct transfer of charge carriers to (or from) oxidoreductases on enzyme-conjugated electrodes. Finally, we address future perspectives and potential next steps in the vibrant field of biocatalytic photosynthesis.

Network Structured CuWO4/BiVO4/Co-Pi Nanocomposite for Solar Water Splitting
摘要： A network structured CuWO4/BiVO4 nanocomposite with a high specific surface area was prepared from CuWO4 nanoflake (NF) arrays via a method that combined drop-casting and thermal annealing. The obtained CuWO4/BiVO4 exhibited high catalytic activity toward photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. When cobalt phosphate (Co-Pi) was coupled with CuWO4/BiVO4, the activity of the resulting CuWO4/BiVO4/Co-Pi composite for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was further improved. The photocurrent density (Jph) for OER on CuWO4/BiVO4/Co-Pi is among the highest reported on a CuWO4-based photoanode in a neutral solution. The high activity for the PEC OER was attributed to the high specific surface area of the composite, the formation of a CuWO4/BiVO4 heterojunction that accelerated electron–hole separation, and the coupling of the Co-Pi co-catalyst with CuWO4/BiVO4, which improved the charge transfer rate across composite/solution interface.

Photoelectrochemical water splitting with p-type metal oxide semiconductor photocathodes Youn Jeong Jang[a] and Jae Sung Lee*[a]
摘要： Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a promising way to produce clean and sustainable hydrogen fuel. Solar hydrogen production using p-type metal oxide semiconductor photocathodes has not been studied as extensively as n-type metal oxide semiconductor photoanodes and p-type PV-grade non-oxide semiconductor photocathodes. Copper-based oxide photocathodes show relatively good conductivity but suffer from instability in an aqueous solution under illumination. On the other hands, Fe-based metal oxide photocathodes demonstrate more stable PEC performance, but have problems in charge separation and transport. In this mini-review article, we provide an overview of the recent progress in p-type metal oxide-based photocathodes for PEC water reduction. Although these materials are not fully developed up to their potential performance, the involved challenges have been identified and strategies to overcome the limitations have been proposed. Future research in this field should address these issues and challenges in addition to discovery of new materials.

Transparent Ta3N5 Photoanodes for Efficient Oxygen Evolution toward the Development of Tandem Cells
摘要： Photoelectrochemical water splitting is regarded as a promising approach to the production of hydrogen, and the development of efficient photoelectrodes is one aspect of realizing practical systems. In this work, transparent Ta3N5 photoanodes were fabricated on n-type GaN/sapphire substrates to promote O2 evolution in tandem with a photocathode, to realize overall water splitting. Following the incorporation of an underlying GaN layer, a photocurrent of 6.3 mA cm-2 was achieved at 1.23 V vs. a reversible hydrogen electrode. The transparency of Ta3N5 to wavelengths longer than 600 nm allowed incoming solar light to be transmitted to a CuInSe2 (CIS), which absorbs up to 1100 nm. A stand-alone tandem cell with a serially-connected dual-CIS unit terminated with a Pt/Ni electrode was thus constructed for H2 evolution. This tandem cell exhibited a solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion efficiency greater than 7% at the initial stage of the reaction.
