Highly Efficient Nanostructured Bi₂WO₆ Thin Film Electrodes for Photoelectrochemical and Environment Remediation.

ABSTRACT: Nanostructured Bi₂WO₆ thin film electrodes with enhanced solar energy conversion and photocatalytic properties have been fabricated using Aerosol-Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (AACVD). By conveniently controlling the deposition process parameters, Bi₂WO₆ electrodes were fabricated with nanoplates and hierarchical buckyball-shaped microsphere structures morphology. A detailed study has been conducted to correlate the structure and morphology with the photoelectrochemical (PEC) and photocatalytic dye degradation performance. The PEC investigations revealed that the hierarchical buckyball-shaped microsphere structured Bi₂WO₆ electrodes have shown the photocurrent density of 220 μAcm^-2 while nanoplates have a pho
