Photoelectrochemical Properties of TiO2 Nanowire Arrays: A Study of the Dependence on Length and Atomic Layer Deposition Coating
Abstract
We report that the length and surface properties of TiO(2) nanowires can have a dramatic effect on their photoelectrochemical properties. To study the length dependence, rutile TiO(2) nanowires (0.28-1.8 μm) were grown on FTO substrates with different reaction times (50-180 min) using a hydrothermal method. Nanowires show an increase in photocurrent with length, and a maximum photocurrent of 0.73 mA/cm(2) was measured (1.5 V vs RHE) for 1.8 μm long nanowires under AM 1.5G simulated sunlight illumination. While the incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) increases linearly with photon absorptance (1-10(-α×length)) with near band gap illumination (λ = 410 nm), it decreases severely at shorter wavelengths of light for longer nanowires due to poor electron mobility. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to deposit an epitaxial rutile TiO(2) shell on nanowire electrodes which enhanced the photocatalytic activity by 1.5 times (1.5 V vs RHE) with 1.8 μm long nanowires, reaching a current density of 1.1 mA/cm(2) (61% of the maximum photocurrent for rutile TiO(2)). Additionally, by fixing the epitaxial rutile shell thickness and studying photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of different nanowire lengths (0.28-1.8 μm), we found that the enhancement of current increases with length. These results demonstrate that ALD coating improves the charge collection efficiency from TiO(2) nanowires due to the passivation of surface states and an increase in surface area. Therefore, we propose that epitaxial coating on materials is a viable approach to improving their energy conversion efficiency.

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.
