제목 Photocatalytic Water Reduction on Copper Bismuth Oxide, a Promising Photocathode Material
초록 Copper Bismuth Oxide(CBO) is firstly reported in 2007 by Sayama group. The authors scanned various combinations of oxide material, and they got outstanding photocurrent density in copper bismuth oxide. Copper bismuth oxide is a p-type semiconductor material which has 1.8eV band gap and 19.7mA/cm2 of theoretical photocurrent density. The p-type Conductivity comes from the copper vacancy states near the valence band edge. CBO fulfills several requirements for the photoelectrochemical water splitting photocatalyst, 1) proper band gap (from 1.3eV to 1.8eV) 2) appropriate band alignment for hydrogen reduction. and 3) earth abundant and low cost of fabrication.
But CBO has poor charge transfer activity, slow kinetics and photocorrosion caused by trapping of photoelectrons in the Cu 3d band. To overcome disadvantages, 1) optimizing the synthesis method, 2) usage of co-catalyst, and 3) protective layer is required.
In this Experiment, various synthetic method were applied to get highly crystalline CBO film and high photocurrent density.
