Problems solved by technology

However due to n-type WO 3 Constrained by the Fermi level of the electrode material, the self-bias voltage between the n-type electrode and the p-type electrode is still small, and the WO 3 The electrode material also has obvious photogenerated carrier recombination, these problems lead to the low performance of the photocatalytic water splitting hydrogen production of the system, under the condition of AM1.5, its hydrogen production performance is only 0.204μmol h -1 cm -2 , additionally using WO 3 The electrode can only absorb near-ultraviolet light with a wavelength of less than 420nm, which limits its full use of visible sunlight
