Fabrication of Bi2MoO6/ZnO Heterojunction Nanosheet Array with High Photoelectrochemical Property
Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of Bi2MoO6 nanosheet array followed with in-situ electrodepositing ZnO layer, resulting in Bi2MoO6/ZnO heterojunction nanosheet array. The thickness of nanoparticle-based ZnO layer on the surface
of Bi2MoO6 nanosheets can be rational controlled by regulating the electrodepositing time. The combination of oriented Bi2MoO6 nanosheet array and ZnO layer could not only enhance the conductivity and surface area but also facilitate the charge separation.
As expected, the heterojunction electrode yields a photocurrent density of 430 ยตA/cm2 at 0.8 V
SCE, which is much higher than that of pristine Bi2MoO6 and ZnO nanosheet array.
