摘要
In this study, oxygen vacancy modified TiO2 nanorod array photoelectrode was prepared by reducing hydrogen atmosphere to increase its free charge carrier density. Subsequently, a p-type conductive poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) layer was deposited on the surface of oxygen vacancy modified TiO2, to inhibit the surface states. Meanwhile, a p-n heterojunction formed between PEDOT and TiO2 to improve the separation of photo-induced carriers further. The photocurrent of TiO2 nanorod array increased to nearly 0.9 mA/cm(2) after the co-modification under standard sunlight illumination, whose value is nearly nine times higher than that of pure TiO2 nanorod array. Thus, this is a promising modification method for TiO2 photoanode photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance improving.
