수소생산을 위한 물 분해용 광전극에 도입된 환원된 산화그래핀이 광전기화학성능에 미치는 영향

초록

Hydrogen is eco-friendly alternative energy source and the photoelectrochemical water splitting is believed to be one of the promising methods for hydrogen production. Many researchers have studied several potential photocatalysts to increase the photoelectochemical performance efficiency for hydrogen conversion. In this study, the GO (graphene oxide) was prepared by Tour’s method and was dispersed in precursor solutions of WO3 and BiVO4. Those precursor solutions were spin-coated on FTO glass and several photocatalyst thin films of WO3, BiVO4 and WO3/BiVO4 were prepared by calcination. The morphologies of prepared photocatalyst thin films were measured by scanning electron microscope. The photoelectrochemical performances of photocatalyst thin films with rGO (reduced graphene oxide) and without rGO were analyzed systematically.
