Title: Enhancing Mo:BiVO₄ Solar Water Splitting with Patterned Au Nanospheres by Plasmon-Induced Energy Transfer [Rational Nanopositioning for BiVO₄ Solar Water Splitting by Plasmon-induced Energy Transfer]

Abstract

Here, plasmonic metal nanostructures have been extensively investigated to improve the performance of metal oxide photoanodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC) solar water splitting cells. Most of these studies have focused on the effects of those metal nanostructures on enhancing light absorption and enabling direct energy transfer via hot electrons. However, several recent studies have shown that plasmonic metal nanostructures can improve the PEC performance of metal oxide photoanodes via another mechanism known as plasmon–induced resonant energy transfer (PIRET). However, this PIRET effect has not yet been tested for the molybdenum–doped bismuth vanadium oxide (Mo:BiVO₄), regarded as one of the best metal oxide photoanode candidates. Here, this study constructs a hybrid Au nanosphere/Mo:BiVO₄ photoanode interwoven in a hexagonal pattern to investigate the PIRET effect on the PEC performance of Mo:BiVO₄. This study finds that the Au nanosphere array not only increases light absorption of the photoanode as expected, but also improves both its charge transport and charge transfer efficiencies via PIRET, as confirmed by time–correlated single photon counting and transient absorption studies. As a result, incorporating the Au nanosphere array increases the photocurrent density of Mo:BiVO₄ at 1.23 V versus RHE by ≈2.2–fold (2.83 mA cm^–2).

Retarded Charge-Carrier Recombination in Photoelectrochemical Cells from Plasmon-Induced Resonance Energy Transfer

Journal Article Choi, Young Moon ; Lee, Byoung Wan ; Jung, Myung Sun ; ... - Advanced Energy Materials

N-type metal oxides such as hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) and bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄) are promising candidate materials for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting; however, their short minority carrier diffusion length and restricted carrier lifetime result in undesired rapid charge recombination. In this paper, a 2D arranged globular Au nanosphere (NS) monolayer array with a highly ordered hexagonal hole pattern (hereafter, Au array) is introduced onto the surface of photoanodes comprised of metal oxide films via a facile drying and transfer-printing process. Through plasmon-induced resonance energy transfer, the Au array provides a strong electromagnetic field in the near-surface area of the metal oxide film.more »« less

Wavelength-Dependent Ultrafast Charge Carrier Separation in the WO ₃ /BiVO ₄ Coupled System

Journal Article Grigioni, Ivan ; Stamplecoskie, Kevin G. ; Jara, Danilo H. ; ... - ACS Energy Letters

Due to its ~2.4 eV band gap, BiVO₄ is a very promising photoanode material for harvesting the blue portion of the solar light for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting applications. In WO₃/BiVO₄ heterojunction films, the electrons photoexcited in BiVO₄ are injected into WO₃, overcoming the lower charge carriers’ diffusion properties limiting the PEC performance of BiVO₄ photoanodes. Here, we investigate by ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy the charge carrier interactions occurring at the interface between the two oxides in heterojunction systems to directly unveil their wavelength dependence. Under selective BiVO₄ excitation, a favorable electron transfer from photoexcited BiVO₄ to WO₃ occurs immediatelymore »« less

Enhanced Charge Carrier Separation in WO ₃ /BiVO ₄ Photoanodes Achieved via Light Absorption in the BiVO ₄ Layer

Journal Article Grigioni, Ivan ; Polo, Annalisa ; Dozzi, Maria Vittoria ; ... - ACS Applied Energy Materials

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting converts solar light and water into oxygen and energy-rich hydrogen. WO₃/BiVO₄ heterojunction photoanodes perform much better than the separate oxide components, though internal charge recombination undermines their PEC performance when both oxides absorb light. Here we exploit the BiVO₄ layer to sensitize WO₃ to visible light and shield it from direct photoexcitation to overcome this efficiency loss. PEC experiments and ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy performed by frontside (through BiVO₄) or backside (through WO₃) irradiating photoanodes with different BiVO₄ layer thickness demonstrate that irradiation through BiVO₄ is beneficial for charge separation. Optimized electrodes irradiated through BiVO₄ showmore »« less

Undoped and Ni-doped CoO_x surface modification of porous BiVO₄ photoelectrodes for water oxidation

Journal Article Liu, Ya ; Guo, Youhong ; Schelhas, Laura T. ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

© 2016 American Chemical Society. Surface modification of photoanodes with oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is an effective approach to enhance water oxidation kinetics, to reduce external bias, and to improve the energy harvesting efficiency of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. Here, the surface of porous BiVO 4 photoanodes was modified by the deposition of undoped and Ni-doped CoO x via nitrogen flow assisted electrostatic spray pyrolysis. This newly developed atmospheric pressure deposition technique allows for surface coverage throughout the porous structure with thickness and composition control. PEC testing of modified BiVO 4 photoanodes shows that after deposition of an undopedmore »« less

Hot Hole Collection and Photoelectrochemical CO₂ Reduction with Plasmonic Au/p-GaN Photocathodes

Journal Article DuChene, Joseph S. ; Tagliabue, Giulia ; Welch, Alex J. ; ... - Nano Letters

Harvesting nonequilibrium hot carriers from plasmonic- metal nanostructures offers unique opportunities for driving photo- chemical reactions at the nanoscale. Despite numerous examples of hot electron-driven processes, the realization of plasmonic systems capable of harvesting hot holes from metal nanostructures has eluded the nascent field of plasmonic photocatalysis. In this work, we fabricate gold/p-type gallium nitride (Au/p-GaN) Schottky junctions tailored for photoelectrochemical studies of plasmon-induced hot-hole capture and conversion. Despite the presence of an interfacial Schottky barrier to hot-hole injection of more than 1 eV across the Au/p-GaN heterojunction, plasmonic Au/p-GaN photocathodes exhibit photoelectrochemical properties consistent with the injection of hotmore »« less
