Pec Water Splitting

We synthesized Ni/Si-codoped TiO2 nanostructures for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, by electrochemical anodization of Ti-1Ni-5Si alloy foils in ethylene glycol/glycerol solutions containing a small amount of water. The effects of annealing temperature on PEC properties of Ni/Si-codoped TiO2 photoanode were investigated. We found that the Ni/Si-codoped TiO2 photoanode annealed at 700 °C had an anatase-rutile mixed phase and exhibited the highest photocurrent density of 1.15 mA/cm2 at 0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), corresponding to a photoconversion efficiency of 0.70%, which was superior to Ni-doped and Si-doped TiO2. This improvement in PEC water splitting could be attributed to the extended light absorption, faster charge transfer, possibly lower charge recombination, and longer lifetime.

Pec Water Splitting

Although several wide-bandgap (1.6-2.0 eV) chalcopyrites (e.g. CuGaSe2, Cu(In,Ga)S2, Cu(In,Al)Se2, (Ag,Cu)GaSe2) have been thus far studied as top cell absorbers for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting tandem devices, CuGa(S,Se)2 is a wide-Eg chalcopyrite that has not yet received any attention in this regard. In this communication, we report on the performance of wide-bandgap chalcopyrite CuGa(S,Se)2 photocathodes as a top cell for PEC tandem water splitting. To be able to assess the PEC performance of CuGa(S,Se)2 as well as its optical transmittance, transparent conductive fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) substrates were used as back contacts. Through our research, we found that synthesizing CuGa(S,Se)2 films through sulfurization of a CuGaSe2 precursor would degrade the optoelectronic properties of the FTO substrate. As such, a specific synthesis approach was developed to circumvent this problem and successfully fabricate functioning CuGa(S,Se)2 PEC photocathodes on FTO. We present the PEC performance of our CuGa(S,Se)2 photocathodes (JSAT≈10 mA/cm2) as well as measurements relevant to its performance as a top cell, such as sub-bandgap transmittance. Finally, we present quantum efficiency of a low-bandgap Cu(In,Ga)Se2 shaded by the CuGa(S,Se)2 PEC photocathode, and discuss the potential of Cu(In,Ga)Se2/CuGa(S,Se)2 tandem structures for non-assisted PEC water splitting.
