Abstract

A p-type heterojunction photoelectrode consisting of platinized CuBi2O4 layered on a CuO film was prepared. The CuO|CuBi2O4|Pt electrode photo-generates H2 in pH neutral aqueous solution during visible light irradiation and exhibits a substantially enhanced photocurrent compared to CuO|Pt and CuBi2O4|Pt electrodes. Reduced electron–hole recombination by the band offsets in the heterostructure is responsible for the improved photoelectrochemical performance of CuO|CuBi2O4 with a small band-gap of approximately 1.5 eV.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
