Solar-Driven One-Compartment Hydrogen Peroxide-Photofuel Cell Using Bismuth Vanadate Photoanode.

ABSTRACT: One-compartment H₂O₂-photofuel cells using monoclinic scheelite BiVO₄ film deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide (ms-BiVO₄/FTO) as the photoanode, Prussian blue film-coated FTO cathode, and deaerated aqueous electrolyte solution of 0.1 M NaClO₄ and 0.1 M H₂O₂ were constructed. Mesoporous TiO₂ photoanode cells with the same cathode and electrolyte solution were also prepared for comparison. The ms-BiVO₄/FTO photoanode was prepared by a two-step route consisting of spin coating of a precursor solution on FTO and subsequent heating at 500 °C in the air. The thickness of the ms-BiVO₄ film was controlled in the range from 50 to 500 nm by the number of the spin-coating times. There is an
