Green hydrogen generation using mushroom-like shape bismuth molybdate-bismuth oxide/poly(1 H-pyrrole) core-shell nanocomposite from sanitation water.

ABSTRACT: A novel Bi₂MoO₆-Bi₂O₃/P1HP core-shell (C-S) nanocomposite photocathode has been successfully synthesized using a two-step process, resulting in a unique mushroom-like morphology with rough, agglomerated structures (~ 200 nm). XRD analysis confirms its nanoscale crystallite size (~ 35 nm), while optical studies reveal broad absorption extending from the visible to infrared range, with an optimized bandgap of 1.75 eV. The photocathode demonstrates exceptional hydrogen production efficiency when applied for H₂ generation using sanitation water as an electrolyte. A high hydrogen evolution rate of 2.5 µmol h^-1 cm^-2 is achieved, with current density (J_ph) measurements confirming its strong performance under various ligh
