Optimizing the performance of Au_y/Ni_x/TiO₂NTs photoanodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting.

ABSTRACT: Water splitting using photoelectrochemical (PEC) techniques is thought to be a potential method for creating green hydrogen as a sustainable energy source. How to create extremely effective electrode materials is a pressing concern in this area. In this work, a series of Ni_x/TiO₂ anodized nanotubes (NTs) and Au_y/Ni_x/TiO₂NTs photoanodes were prepared by electrodeposition via cyclic voltammetry and UV-photoreduction, respectively. The photoanodes were characterized by several structural, morphological, and optical techniques and their performance in PEC water-splitting for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under simulated solar light was investigated. The obtained results revealed the nanotubular structure of Ti
