Free-Standing Electrospun W-Doped BiVO₄ Porous Nanotubes for the Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation.

ABSTRACT: While bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄) has emerged as a promising photoanode in solar water splitting, it still suffers from poor electron-hole separation and electron transport properties. Therefore, the development of BiVO₄ nanomaterials that enable performing high charge transfer rate at the interface and lowering charge recombination is urgent needed. Herein, cobalt borate (Co-B) nanoparticle arrays anchored on electrospun W-doped BiVO₄ porous nanotubes (BiV_0.97W_0.03O₄) was prepared for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. One-dimensional, free-standing and porousBiV_0.97W_0.03O₄/Co-B nanotubes was synthesized through electrospun and electrodeposition process. BiV_0.97W_0.03
