| Summary: | Solar hydrogen production through water photosplitting by photoelectrochemical
(PEC) cell is one of the most desirable, cost-effective and environmentally friendly
processes but still sutl'ering from a low efficiency. To improve its efficiency, a tandem
solar cell was made up by connecting a dye solar cell (DSC) with the modified PEC
cell in a series. Tandem solar cell was fabricated through a simple and cheap process,
working with solar energy and water, which are both abundant and renewable. A series
of monometallic (Cu and Ni) and bimetallic (Cu-Ni) doped TiOz as novel
photocatalysts were synthesized using sol-gel hydrothermal method. The physicochemical
properties of the calcined photocatalysts were investigated by different
analytical techniques whilst their photoelectrochemical behavior were analyzed using
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. photocurrent density, photoconversion
efficiency and Matt-Schottky analysis. |
