RESUMO

In QDSSCs, a photoanode is an important part of connecting the external circuit, providing support for the transmission of photogenerated carriers to the external circuit, and also providing an attachment site for QDs. In this study, we prepared a g-C3N4@TiO2 composite for the photoanode by a two-step process. The results show that the use of g-C3N4@TiO2 greatly increases the specific surface area of the material, effectively inhibits the "electron-hole" recombination, and optimizes the stability and catalytic performance of the photoanode. Among them, the cell equipped with the g-C3N4@TiO2 photoanode has improved performance: Jsc = 26.5 mA cm-2, PCE = 8.2%, Voc = 0.62 eV, and FF = 0.50. Based on the research in this paper, it can be seen that the g-C3N4@TiO2 composite applied to the photoanode can effectively improve the cell performance and provide a feasible idea for optimizing QDSSCs.

RESUMO

Photocatalytic nitrogen fixation is one of the important pathways for green and sustainable ammonia synthesis, but the extremely high bonding energy of the N≡N triple bond makes it difficult for conventional nitrogen fixation photocatalysts to directly activate and hydrogenate. Given this, we covalently grafted the phenanthroline unit onto graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (CN) by the simple thermal oxidation method and complexed it with transition metal Fe3+ ions to obtain stable dispersed Fe active sites, which can significantly improve the photocatalytic activity. The Fe(III)-4-P-CN photocatalyst morphology consists of porous lamellar structures internally connected by nanowires. The special morphology of the catalysts gives them excellent nitrogen fixation performance, with an average NH3 yield of 492.9 µmol g-1 h-1, which is 6.5 times higher than that of the pristine CN, as well as better photocatalytic cycling stability. Comprehensive experiments and density-functional theory results show that Fe(III)-4-P-CN is more favorable than pristine CN for *N2 activation, effectively lowering the reaction energy barrier. Moreover, other byproducts (such as nitrate and H2O2) are also produced during the photocatalytic nitrogen fixation process, which also provides a new way for nitrogen-fixing photocatalysts to achieve multifunctional applications.

RESUMO

In quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs), the photoanode provides a stable support for the quantum dots, and promotes the production of photogenerated electrons and the transfer to external circuit. Therefore, it is very important to search for excellent photoanodes for the commercial application of QDSSCs. In this paper, a core-shell ZnO@TiO2 hexagonal prism heterogeneous structure was prepared by a two-step hydrothermal method. The ZnO@TiO2 heterogeneous structure not only has a unique 1D hexagonal prism morphology, but also can effectively inhibit the electron-hole recombination and has a greater light response and higher collection efficiency while speeding up the electron transmission rate. By adjusting the concentration of the TiO2 source, the best photoanode material Zn@Ti-2 was explored, and it showed excellent cell performance: Jsc = 25.4 mA cm-2, Voc = 0.71 V, PCE = 8.5%, and FF = 0.49. Compared with a single ZnO photoanode, the PCE value is increased by 25%. EIS, Tafel polarization and transient photocurrent responses confirm that the Zn@Ti-2 photoanode has higher catalytic activity and stability. Therefore, Zn@Ti-2 may be a promising photoanode material for QDSSCs.
