Enhanced Photoelectrocatalytical Performance of Inorganic-Inorganic Hybrid Consisting BiVO4, V2O5, and Cobalt Hexacyanocobaltate as a Perspective Photoanode for Water Splitting
Abstrakt
Thin layers of BiVO4/V2O5 were prepared on FTO substrates using pulsed laser deposition technique. The method of cobalt hexacyanocobaltate (Cohcc) synthesis on the BiVO4/V2O5 photoanodes consists of cobalt deposition followed by electrochemical oxidation of metallic Co in K3[Co(CN)6] aqueous electrolyte. The modified electrodes were tested as photoanodes for water oxidation under simulated sunlight irradiation. Deposited films were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Since the V2O5 is characterized by a narrower energy bandgap than BiVO4, the presence of V2O5 shifts absorption edge (ΔE = ~0.25 eV) of modified films towards lower energies enabling the conversion of a wider range of solar radiation. The formation of heterojunction increases photocurrent of water oxidation measured at 1.2 V vs Ag/ AgCl (3 M KCl) to over 1 mA cm-2, while bare BiVO4 and V2O5 exhibit 0.37 and 0.08 mA cm-2, respectively. On the other hand, the modification of obtained layers with Cohcc shifts onset potential of photocurrent generation into a cathodic direction. As a result, the photocurrent enhancement at a wide range of applied potential was achieved.
