Reactive Sputtering of Bismuth Vanadate Photoanodes for Solar Water Splitting
Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) has attracted increasing attention as a photoanode for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. It has a band gap in the visible light range (2.4−2.5 eV) and a valence band position suitable for driving water oxidation under illumination. While a number of methods have been used to make BiVO4 photoanodes, scalable thin film deposition has remained relatively underexp...
متن کاملSimultaneous enhancements in photon absorption and charge transport of bismuth vanadate photoanodes for solar water splitting
n-Type bismuth vanadate has been identified as one of the most promising photoanodes for use in a water-splitting photoelectrochemical cell. The major limitation of BiVO4 is its relatively wide bandgap (∼2.5 eV), which fundamentally limits its solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency. Here we show that annealing nanoporous bismuth vanadate electrodes at 350 °C under nitrogen flow can result in n...
متن کاملMechanistic insights into chemical and photochemical transformations of bismuth vanadate photoanodes
Artificial photosynthesis relies on the availability of semiconductors that are chemically stable and can efficiently capture solar energy. Although metal oxide semiconductors have been investigated for their promise to resist oxidative attack, materials in this class can suffer from chemical and photochemical instability. Here we present a methodology for evaluating corrosion mechanisms and ap...

متن کاملConsidering Stochastic and Combinatorial Optimization
Here, issues connected with characteristic stochastic practices are considered. In the first part, the plausibility of covering the arrangements of an improvement issue on subjective subgraphs is studied. The impulse for this strategy is a state where an advancement issue must be settled as often as possible for discretionary illustrations. Then, a preprocessing stage is considered that would q...
