摘要
In this work, we successfully fabricated a novel stable photoanode, which was built from ZnO nanosheets in situ decorated with carbon film (ZnO/carbon). The thin carbon film, as a passivation layer, can not only improve the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance, but also significantly depress the photocorrosion of ZnO. Compared with bare ZnO photoanode, the photocurrent density of ZnO/carbon has been increased nearly five times, and its IPCE value can be up to 27% (0.5V versus Ag/AgCl). Moreover, the XRD, SEM and TEM data further demonstrate the crystal and microscopic structure of ZnO/carbon in detail.
