ABSTRACT
This work reports on the preparation of Cr-doped TiO2 (Cr−TiO2), Cu-doped (Cu-TiO2), and its utilization in the photoanode of a solar redox flow battery (SRFB). A pure TiO2 electrode, Cr-doped TiO2 electrode, and Cu-doped TiO2 electrode coated with different layers are prepared by the sol-gel method. XRD, XPS, and SEM are used to characterize the relevant data of the electrode. All three electrodes show the structure of the anatase phase, but the Cu-TiO2 and Cr-TiO2 electrodes are more crystalline. Using these materials as photoelectrodes to prepare integrated solar flow cells, the semi-cell and full-cell tests show that the doping of Cr and Cu improves the efficiency and charging current of solar cells. The average charging currents of the Cu-TiO2 and Cr-TiO2 electrodes are 384.20 µA and 450.75 µA, respectively, compared with the TiO2 electrode; this increment reaches values of 71.23% and 100.97%.
