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…
