含氟水溶液中电化学刻蚀氟化WO_3薄膜电极增强可见光光电化学性能
Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Performance of WO_3 Film Electrode under Visible Light by Electrochemical Etching Fluorination in Aqueous Solutions Containing Fluorine
摘要
Abstract
A new and simple method of electrochemical etching in acidic aqueous solutions containing fluorine for the electrodeposited WO_3 thin films is presented. The samples were characterized by photoelectrochemistry, scanning electron microscopy(SEAM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL). Results showed that the etching increased the specific surface area with a concomitant reduction in the catalyst mass and also a change in the surface status of the electrodes. This modification of the surface status improved the photoelectrochemical performance of the electrodes under visible and UV-Vis light illumination with the same mass and specific surface area. This enhancement can be ascribed to the surface fluorination of the electrodes, which result in a decrease in the surface recombination centers and a negative shift in the flatband potential. The light absorption and crystalline were found to be unchanged by etching. The etched WO_3 film electrode shows excellent photoelectrochemical stability in acid solutions. This provides a novel method for increasing the photon electric conversion efficiency of WO_3 thin film electodes.关键词
