In the search for improved materials for photoelectrochemical water splitting, it has become important to identify new classes of semiconductor materials that may serve as improved photocathodes. To this end, p-type AgRhO2 has been synthesized and tested as a photocathode for water splitting. The AgRhO2 photocathode is found to exhibit excellent photocatalytic capability for reducing protons to H2 across a wide range of pH values with nearly 100% faradaic efficiency and good photostability. Polycrystalline AgRhO2 electrodes exhibit strong preferred c-axis orientation, resulting in anisotropic conductivity, evident from resistivity measurements. AgRhO2 photocathodes are found to provide improved performance and photostability when compared to prior work using a p-CuRhO2 electrode. Enhanced performance is in part attributed to the unusual degree of c-axis orientation found in this material. In addition, there is a significantly lower kinetic barrier for H2 production at the AgRhO2 interface.

在可见光下从AgRhO 2光电阴极稳定放出氢气

在寻找用于光电化学水分解的改进材料时,确定可用作改进的光阴极的新型半导体材料已变得很重要。为此,已经合成并测试了p型AgRhO 2作为用于水分解的光阴极。发现AgRhO 2光电阴极具有出色的光催化能力,可以在很宽的pH值范围内将质子还原为H 2,具有接近100%的法拉第效率和良好的光稳定性。多晶AgRhO 2电极表现出很强的c轴方向性,从而产生各向异性的电导率,这从电阻率测量中可以明显看出。AgRhO 2与使用p-CuRhO 2电极的先前工作相比,发现光电阴极可提供改进的性能和光稳定性。性能的提高部分归因于这种材料中c轴取向的异常程度。另外,在AgRhO 2界面处产生H 2的动力学势垒明显更低。
