Ternary Ti-Mo-Fe Nanotubes as Efficient Photoanodes for Solar-Assisted Water Splitting
Abstract
Designing efficient and stable water splitting photocatalysts is an intriguing challenge for energy conversion systems. We report on the optimal fabrication of perfectly aligned nanotubes on trimetallic Ti-Mo-Fe alloy with different compositions prepared via the combination of metallurgical control and facile electrochemical anodization in organic media. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed the presence of composite oxides of anatase TiO2and magnetite Fe3O4with better stability and crystallinity. With the optimal alloy composition Ti-(5.0 atom %) Mo-(5.0 atom %) Fe anodized for 16 h, enhanced conductivity, improved photocatalytic performance, and remarkable stability were achieved in comparison with Ti-(3.0 atom %) Mo-(1.0 atom %) Fe samples. Such optimized nanotube films attained an enhanced photocatalytic activity of ∼0.272 mA/cm2at 0.9 VSCE, which is approximately 4 times compared to the bare TiO2nanotubes fabricated under the same conditions (∼0.041 mA/cm2at 0.9 VSCE). That was mainly correlated with the emergence of Mo and Fe impurities within the lattice, providing excess charge carriers. Meanwhile, the nanotubes showed outstanding stability with a longer electron lifetime. Moreover, carrier density variations, lower charge transfer resistance, and charge carriers dynamics features were demonstrated via the Mott-Schottky and electrochemical impedance analyses.
