双功能BiVO4复合光阳极的光电催化性能增强机制研究

The enhancement mechanism of photoelectrochemical performance of bifunctional BiVO4 composite photoanodes

  • 摘要: BiVO4被视为光电领域具有潜力的光阳极材料,但其光生载流子分离与迁移率较低的问题限制了它的进一步开发和应用。为了克服这一挑战,采用了一种简便的策略成功构建了Ni(OH)2/BiVO4复合光阳极。在模拟太阳光的照射下,Ni(OH)2/BiVO4复合光阳极在1.23 V vs. RHE时表现出了3.15 mA·cm−2的光电流密度,约是纯BiVO4光阳极的2.3倍(1.37 mA·cm−2)。在光电催化降解四环素的实验中,该复合光阳极展现出了80.16%的高效降解效率以及出色的稳定性。通过对Ni(OH)2/BiVO4光阳极的结构与性能深入的测试与分析,表明其优异的表现可归因于高效的电荷分离特性。因此,Ni(OH)2/BiVO4复合光阳极在光电水氧化和光电催化降解领域展现出广阔的应用前景。

     

    Abstract: BiVO4 is regarded as a promising photoanode in the field of photoelectrochemical (PEC) field, but its photogenerated carrier separation with low mobility limits its further development and application. To overcome this challenge, a facile strategy was employed to successfully construct Ni(OH)2/BiVO4 photoanodes. Under simulated sunlight irradiation, the Ni(OH)2/BiVO4 photoanode exhibites a photocurrent density of 3.15 mA·cm−2 at 1.23 V vs. RHE, which is about 2.3 times higher than that of the pure BiVO4 photoanode (1.37 mA·cm−2). The photoanode also demonstrates an efficient degradation rate of 80.16% as well as excellent stability in the PEC degradation of tetracycline. Through testing and analysis of the structure and performance of Ni(OH)2/BiVO4 photoanode, we find that its excellent performance can be attributed to high efficiency of charge separation. Furthermore, the Ni(OH)2/BiVO4 photoanode shows a broad application prospect in the field of PEC oxidation and degradation.
