Embodiment approach 1
[0013] This embodiment improves a method for improving the photoelectric response of the iron oxide nanorod array photoanode, including the following steps:
[0014] The iron oxide nanorod array photoanode grown on the surface of the FTO conductive substrate under hydrothermal conditions (the preparation method of the iron oxide nanorod array photoanode is the same as that in the paper Journal of Materials Chemistry A. 2014, 2, 13705-13712. The preparation method is the same) leaning against the reaction kettle, and the conductive surface on which the iron oxide nanorod array is grown on the substrate faces down;
[0015] Add ethylene glycol to two-thirds of the reactor and then seal it, and conduct a hydrothermal reaction at 100°C for 64 hours;
[0016] After natural cooling, the surface of the substrate was washed with deionized water and dried to obtain an ethylene glycol-treated iron oxide nanorod array photoanode.
[0017] The iron oxide nanorod array grown on the surfac...
Embodiment approach 2
[0021] This embodiment is substantially the same as Embodiment 1, except that the temperature of the hydrothermal reaction is 140° C., and the time of the hydrothermal reaction is 48 hours.
Embodiment approach 3
[0023] This embodiment is substantially the same as Embodiment 1, except that the temperature of the hydrothermal reaction is 160° C., and the time of the hydrothermal reaction is 24 hours.
[0024] In this embodiment, the current-voltage curve of the iron oxide nanorod photoanode treated with ethylene glycol at 160°C is as follows figure 1 As shown, it can be seen that the iron oxide nanorod array photoanode after being treated with ethylene glycol at 160° C. for 24 hours makes the anode current of the iron oxide nanorod array photoanode significantly increase.
[0025] In this embodiment, the Mott-Schottky curve of the iron oxide nanorod photoanode treated with ethylene glycol at 160°C is as follows figure 2 As shown, it can be seen that the slope of the straight line part of the Mott-Schottky curve of iron oxide treated at 160°C with ethylene glycol is significantly reduced, indicating that the donor concentration of the iron oxide nanorod array photoanode treated with eth...
