Title: Stable solar-driven oxidation of water by semiconducting photoanodes protected by transparent catalytic nickel oxide films

Abstract

Reactively sputtered nickel oxide (NiO_x) films provide transparent, antireflective, electrically conductive, chemically stable coatings that also are highly active electrocatalysts for the oxidation of water to O₂(g). These NiO_x coatings provide protective layers on a variety of technologically important semiconducting photoanodes, including textured crystalline Si passivated by amorphous silicon, crystalline n-type cadmium telluride, and hydrogenated amorphous silicon. Finally, under anodic operation in 1.0 M aqueous potassium hydroxide (pH 14) in the presence of simulated sunlight, the NiO_x films stabilized all of these self-passivating, high-efficiency semiconducting photoelectrodes for >100 h of sustained, quantitative solar-driven oxidation of water to O₂(g).

The Influence of Structure and Processing on the Behavior of TiO₂ Protective Layers for Stabilization of n-Si/TiO₂/Ni Photoanodes for Water Oxidation

Journal Article McDowell, Matthew; Lichterman, Michael; Carim, Azhar; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

Light absorbers with moderate band gaps (1–2 eV) are required for high-efficiency solar fuels devices, but most semiconducting photoanodes undergo photocorrosion or passivation in aqueous solution. Amorphous TiO₂ deposited by atomic-layer deposition (ALD) onto various n-type emiconductors (Si,GaAs, GaP, and CdTe) and coated with thin films or islands of Ni produces efficient, stable photoanodes for water oxidation, with the TiO₂ films protecting the underlying semiconductor from photocorrosion in pH = 14 KOH(aq). The links between the electronic properties of the TiO₂ in these electrodes and the structure and energetic defect states of the material are not yet well-elucidated. We showmore »« less

Introduction of an ultrathin (2 nm) film of cobalt oxide (CoO_x) onto n-Si photoanodes prior to sputter-deposition of a thick multifunctional NiO_x coating yields stable photoelectrodes with photocurrent-onset potentials of ~-240 mV relative to the equilibrium potential for O₂(g) evolution and current densities of ~28 mA cm^-2 at the equilibrium potential for water oxidation when in contact with 1.0 M KOH(aq) under 1 sun of simulated solar illumination. The photoelectrochemical performance of these electrodes was very close to the Shockley diode limit for moderately doped n-Si(100) photoelectrodes, and was comparable to that of typical protected Si photoanodes that contained np⁺more » buried homojunctions.« less

Catalytic open-circuit passivation by thin metal oxide films of p-Si anodes in aqueous alkaline electrolytes

Journal Article Fu, Harold; Buabthong, Pakpoom; Ifkovits, Zachary; ... - Energy & Environmental Science

Ni and NiO_x-based protective thin films are shown to catalyze the oxidation of Si in the presence of O₂ in strongly alkaline KOH(aq) even in the absence of illumination. The O₂ in solution drove the open-circuit potential of the electrode to >0.4 V, which is positive of the Si passivation potential. The elevated electrochemical potential of the surface promoted formation of passive oxides on exposed Si regions of Si/Ni electrodes. Catalytic passivation of Si extended the durability of an np⁺-Si(100)/NiO_x photoanode to >400 h while operating under simulated day/night cycles. In contrast, electrodes without a Ni(O_x) layer and/or without O₂more »« less

Tin Oxide as a Protective Heterojunction with Silicon for Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation in Strongly Acidic or Alkaline Electrolytes

Journal Article Moreno‐Hernandez, Ivan; Brunschwig, Bruce; Lewis, Nathan - Advanced Energy Materials

Abstract Photoelectrodes without a p–n junction are often limited in efficiency by charge recombination at semiconductor surfaces and slow charge transfer to electrocatalysts. This study reports that tin oxide (SnO _x ) layers applied to n‐Si wafers after forming a thin chemically oxidized SiO _x layer can passivate the Si surface while producing ≈620 mV photovoltage under 100 mW cm ⁻² of simulated sunlight. The SnO _x layer makes ohmic contacts to Ni, Ir, or Pt films that act as precatalysts for the oxygen‐evolution reaction (OER) in 1.0 m KOH(aq) or 1.0 m H ₂ SO ₄ (aq). Ideal regenerativemore »« less

Alkaline-stable nickel manganese oxides with ideal band gap for solar fuel photoanodes

Journal Article Suram, Santosh; Zhou, Lan; Shinde, Aniketa; ... - ChemComm

Combinatorial (photo)electrochemical studies of the (Ni–Mn)O_x system reveal a range of promising materials for oxygen evolution photoanodes. X-ray diffraction, quantum efficiency, and optical spectroscopy mapping reveal stable photoactivity of NiMnO₃ in alkaline conditions with photocurrent onset commensurate with its 1.9 eV direct band gap. The photoactivity increases upon mixture with 10–60% Ni₆MnO₈ providing an example of enhanced charge separation via heterojunction formation in mixed-phase thin film photoelectrodes. Further, density functional theory-based hybrid functional calculations of the band edge energies in this oxide reveal that a somewhat smaller than typical fraction of exact exchange is required to explain the favorable valencemore » band alignment for water oxidation.« less
