Abstract

The modification of a BiVO ₄ /WO ₃ photoelectrode with Al ₂ O ₃ by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method significantly improved the faradaic efficiency for H ₂ O ₂ production (FE(H ₂ O ₂ )) in the photoelectrochemical oxidation of H ₂ O. The faradaic efficiency after passing 0.9 C (after photoirradiation for 15 min using simulated solar light) was 80% using a 2.0 M KHCO ₃ aqueous solution as an electrolyte. The initial FE(H ₂ O ₂ ) (<0.02 C) was almost 100% on the Al ₂ O ₃ /BiVO ₄ /WO ₃ photoelectrode. The thin Al ₂ O ₃ layer prevents the oxidative decomposition of the produced H ₂ O ₂ into O ₂ . The applied bias photon to current efficiency (ABPE) was 2.57% based on H ₂ O ₂ and O ₂ production on the photoanode and H ₂ production on a Pt cathode. Solar light driven simultaneous H ₂ O ₂ production at the anode for H ₂ O oxidation and the cathode for O ₂ reduction was also achieved by combining a noble-metal-free biomass-derived carbon cathode without applying any external bias.
