Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is regarded as a promising route to produce sustainable hydrogen fuel using sunlight and water as sole inputs. Si is one of the most promising potential materials for PEC photocathode, while developing highly active non-precious catalysts and stable semiconductor/catalyst interface is critical to bring solar water splitting into reality. Herein, we reported a cheap and effective strategy based on a wet chemical method to integrate WS2 and Co-doped WS2 (Co-W-S) onto n(+)p-Si as noble metal free catalysts for H-2 production. Co-W-S/n(+)p-Si photocathode exhibited much better PEC performance, resulting from the Co-W-S catalyst which has more electrochemically active sites and better electrical conductivity. A thin Ti interlayer between Co-W-S and Si was inserted to further optimize the PEC performance, especially the stability of the photocathode. As a result, an onset potential of 0.36 V vs. RHE, a photocurrent of 30.4 mA/cm(2) at 0 V vs. RHE and an energy conversion efficiency of 4.0% were obtained under simulated AM1.5 G illumination, along with a long-term stability for 6 days of continuous PEC reaction.
