- W4321605182 abstract "Metal oxide-based photoelectrodes for solar water splitting often utilize nanostructures to increase the solid-liquid interface area. This reduces charge transport distances and increases the photocurrent for materials with short minority charge carrier diffusion lengths. While the merits of nanostructuring are well established, the effect of surface order on the photocurrent and carrier recombination has not yet received much attention in the literature. To evaluate the impact of pore ordering on the photoelectrochemical properties, mesoporous CuFe2 O4 (CFO) thin film photoanodes were prepared by dip-coating and soft-templating. Here, the pore order and geometry can be controlled by addition of copolymer surfactants poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(propylene oxide)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (Pluronic® F-127), polyisobutylene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PIB-PEO) and poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (Kraton liquid™-PEO, KLE). The non-ordered CFO showed the highest photocurrent density of 0.2 mA/cm2 at 1.3 V vs. RHE for sulfite oxidation, but the least photocurrent density for water oxidation. Conversely, the ordered CFO presented the best photoelectrochemical water oxidation performance. These differences can be understood on the basis of the high surface area, which promotes hole transfer to sulfite (a fast hole acceptor), but retards oxidation of water (a slow hole acceptor) due to electron-hole recombination at the defective surface. This interpretation is confirmed by intensity-modulated photocurrent (IMPS) and vibrating Kelvin probe surface photovoltage spectroscopy (VKP-SPS). The lowest surface recombination rate was observed for the ordered KLE-based mesoporous CFO, which retains spherical pore shapes at the surface resulting in fewer surface defects. Overall, this work shows that the photoelectrochemical energy conversion efficiency of copper ferrite thin films is not just controlled by the surface area, but also by surface order." @default.
