Photocatalytic generation of hydrogen by core-shell WO3/BiVO4 nanorods with ultimate water splitting efficiency
Efficient photocatalytic water splitting requires effective generation, separation and transfer of photo-induced charge carriers that can hardly be achieved simultaneously in a single material. Here we show that the effectiveness of each process can be separately maximized in a nanostructured heterojunction with extremely thin absorber layer. We demonstrate this concept on WO3/BiVO4+CoPi core-s...
متن کاملCore/Shell/Shell Nanowire Photocathodes for Neutral pH Water Splitting
Silicon is the most widely used semiconductor for solar cells [ 1–4 ] and has also shown promising performances in photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells for hydrogen production. [ 5–10 ] Silicon photoelectrodes with nano/micro structures such as nano/ micro wire array [ 9,11 ] and black silicon [ 7 ] have exhibited improved PEC performances. Silicon nanowire (NW) arrays, in particular, are of consid...
متن کاملDye-sensitized Pt@TiO2 core–shell nanostructures for the efficient photocatalytic generation of hydrogen
Pt@TiO2 core-shell nanostructures were prepared through a hydrothermal method. The dye-sensitization of these Pt@TiO2 core-shell structures allows for a high photocatalytic activity for the generation of hydrogen from proton reduction under visible-light irradiation. When the dyes and TiO2 were co-excited through the combination of two irradiation beams with different wavelengths, a synergic ef...
متن کاملOptimised photocatalytic hydrogen production using core-shell AuPd promoters with controlled shell thickness.
The development of efficient photocatalytic routines for producing hydrogen is of great importance as society moves away from energy sources derived from fossil fuels. Recent studies have identified that the addition of metal nanoparticles to TiO2 greatly enhances the photocatalytic performance of these materials towards the reforming of alcohols for hydrogen production. The core-shell structur...
متن کاملCo-enhancement of fluorescence and singlet oxygen generation by silica-coated gold nanorods core-shell nanoparticle
Metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) as a newly recognized technology has been attracting considerable attention and is widely used in fluorescence-based technology. In this paper, we reported a novel distance-dependent MEF and metal-enhanced singlet oxygen generation phenomenon based on silica-coated gold nanorods (AuNRs@SiO2) core-shell structure with tetra-substituted carboxyl aluminum phthaloc...
