Photo-electrochemical water splitting and hydrogen generation over Ce-CdS/TiO2/Pt composites coated on FTO substrate
Main Article Content
Abstract
Recent studies have shown that the combination of wide-band gap photocatalyst and narrow-band gap semiconductors can collect visible light to enable charge separation and improve the efficiency of H2 generation. In this article we report excellent solar photocatalytic and photo-electrochemical activity of Ce-CdS/TiO2/Pt/FTO nano composites towards water splitting and hydrogen generation. Ce-CdS/TiO2/Pt/FTO nano composites of different Ce content were synthesized with doctorblade followed by Successiveioniclayeradsorptionandreaction(SILAR) Method.ThematerialsthussynthesizedwerecharacterizedusingvariousanalyticaltechniquessuchaspowderX-raydiffractionpattern(PXRD),HRTEM,XPSandRamanspectra.Themorphologyandmicrostructureof Ce-CdSTiO2/Ptcompositeswereinvestigatedbyscanningelectronmicroscope(SEM).20Ce-CdSTiO2/Pt/FTOcompositeshowsexcellentactivityforhydrogenevolution(43μmol/h/g).ActivitywasfoundtobedependentonthenumberofSILARcyclesandtheimmersiontime.Thedetailedmechanismofsolarwatersplittingon Ce-CdSTiO2/Pt/FTOwasalsostudied.
