摘要
Gamma radiation can cause structural defects in metal oxide thin films, affecting their conversion efficiency. This study focuses on synthesizing and characterizing Tungsten oxide (WO3) films for photo-electrochemical (PEC) water-splitting applications. The pristine WO3 film was irradiated with a Co-60 gamma source to improve its photocatalytic activity and was named G-WO3. The resulting G-WO3 thin films showed a decrease in the optical direct band gap and showed higher photocurrent density and lower charge transfer resistance for PEC applications. The carrier charge density (N-d) values were found to be increased after gamma-radiation. The synthesized G-WO3 thin films possess good stability and reusability for photo-electrochemical water-splitting applications.
