Fabrication of Foamed Zinc Oxide-Silica Spheres Coupled with Ag–AgBr for High-Efficiency Photo-Electrocatalytic Overall Water Splitting
Abstract
Abstract Advanced photo-/electrocatalyst is devoted for O2 and H2 evolution reactions (OER and HER) with immense quantum conversions efficiency. Herein, a novel foamed zinc oxide-silica spheres and Ag–AgBr nanocomposite (Ag–AgBr/FZSS) was engineered and passes through a complete characterization profiling. The Ag–AgBr/FZSS possesses the distinctive porous surface with open cavities. The hierarchical morphology provides many active sites and mesoporous conducting channels for visible light absorption and charge carriers transportation. The Ag–AgBr/FZSS act as outperformed photo-/electrocatalyst for OER (overpotential 348 mV @ 10 mAcm−2) and HER (potential −217 mV @ 100 mAcm−2). While under illumination conditions it reduced to 337 mV and −195 mV with high quantum conversion efficiency (37.5%). The lustrous durability further justified as a highly efficient photo-/electrocatalyst for renewable energy conversions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
