Enhancement of calcium copper titanium oxide photoelectrochemical performance using boron nitride nanosheets
2020
International audience; Photoelectrochemical water splitting under visible light has attracted attention for renewable hydrogen production. Despite prevalent investigations, many challenges still hindered an efficient energy conversion, such as enhancing the reaction efficiency in visible light. Thus controlling the photoelectrode materials is an essential step in designing new materials for water splitting. CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) has received great attention as photocatalyst under solar light due to its combined band gap as result of the presence in its structure of TiO2 active in UV light and CuO active under visible light. In this work, a cubic CCTO with different amount of exfoliated hexago…
Segregation of copper oxide on calcium copper titanate surface induced by Graphene Oxide for Water splitting applications
2020
Abstract Photoelectrochemical cells (PEC) are promising devices for hydrogen production via sunlight energy. One of the important challenges in this area is to design photoactive electrodes able to absorb visible light. A good photoelectrochemical behavior depends on the presence of surface active sites to photogenerate current at the lower possible potential for water splitting. Recent investigations in this field are focusing on perovskite materials such as CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) as visible light active electrode due its outstanding structure in which CCTO encloses in its structure a visible light absorbance component (CuO). The presence CuO on the material surface is mainly responsible for t…
