A new electrochemical synthesis route for a BiOI electrode and its conversion to a highly efficient porous BiVO4 photoanode for solar water oxidation

McDonald, Kenneth J., Choi, Kyoung-Shin·2012·Energy & Environmental Science

Abstract

A new electrodeposition condition utilizing p-benzoquinone reduction was developed to produce BiOI electrodes composed of extremely thin 2D BiOI crystals. These electrodes served as precursors to form porous BiVO4 electrodes via mild chemical and thermal treatments. The resulting porous BiVO4 electrodes showed outstanding photoelectrochemical performance for sulfite oxidation reaching 1.25 mA cm−2 at 0.5 V vs. RHE in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7) containing 0.1 M sodium sulfite. When a ca. 100 nm thick FeOOH layer was deposited on the surface of BiVO4 as an oxygen evolution catalyst, the kinetics of water oxidation was improved to the level of sulfite oxidation and the maximum power point for solar water oxidation was achieved at a bias as low as 0.55 V vs. RHE with a photocurrent density of 1.17 mA cm−2. The remarkable solar water oxidation performance achieved by the porous BiVO4–FeOOH system strongly encourages further morphological and compositional optimizations of the BiVO4-based photoanode systems to realize highly efficient and practical solar water oxidation.

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.
