چکیده

Vertically aligned titanium dioxide nanotube (TNT) arrays codoped with nitrogen and 3d transition metals were successfully fabricated using anodization and nitridation processes. The codoping of N and Fe yielded the highest visible-light-induced photoelectrochemical water oxidation due to bandgap narrowing of impurity levels by N and Fe.

Synthesis of Ta3N5 Nanotube Arrays Modified with Electrocatalysts for Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation

Tantalum nitride (Ta3N5) is a promising material for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation with a narrow band gap (2.1 eV) that can effectively utilize visible light in the solar spectrum. Ta3N5 nanotube (NT) arrays were synthesized on a Ta foil by electrochemical anodization followed by an ammonia treatment at 800 °C. The photocurrent of nanostructured Ta3N5 was over 3 times higher than t...
