Description

technical field [0001] The invention mainly belongs to the field of photoelectrochemical water splitting and hydrogen production, and specifically relates to a vanadium-doped ZnO nanorod array photoanode, a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen produced by solar photolysis is considered to be the cleanest energy to meet future energy needs. Among the different preparation methods at present, photoelectrochemical water splitting is considered to be one of the most promising approaches because of its high efficiency and environmental protection. In the photoelectrochemical system, the selection and design of the photoanode is the most critical link, because the light absorption capacity and carrier mobility of the photoelectrode greatly determine the photoelectrochemical performance. ZnO is a potential photoanode material for photoelectrolysis of water due to its relatively suitable energy band position, excellent carrier transport...
