Reduced Graphene Oxide as a Solid-state Electron Mediator in Z-scheme Photocatalytic Water Splitting under Visible Light
TL;DR: It is shown that a tailor-made, photoreduced graphene oxide can shuttle photogenerated electrons from an O(2)-evolving photocatalyst (BiVO(4) to a H(2)/Ru/SrTiO(3):Rh, tripling the consumption of electron-hole pairs in the water splitting reaction under visible-light irradiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing Graphene Oxide on a Visible-Light BiVO4 Photocatalyst for an Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting
TL;DR: In this paper, a facile single-step photocatalytic reaction was used to improve the photoresponse of BiVO4 with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) for photoelectrochemical water splitting.

TL;DR: The conformal deposition of an ultrathin p-type NiO layer on the photoanode is shown to create a buried p/n junction as well as to reduce the charge recombination at the surface trapping states for the enlarged surface band bending.
Journal ArticleDOI
Z-Schematic Water Splitting into H2 and O2 Using Metal Sulfide as a Hydrogen-Evolving Photocatalyst and Reduced Graphene Oxide as a Solid-State Electron Mediator
TL;DR: In this system, photogenerated electrons in the TiO2 with an n-type semiconductor character transferred to the metal sulfide through a reduced graphene oxide to achieve water splitting, and this system was active for solar water splitting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water Splitting and CO2 Reduction under Visible Light Irradiation Using Z-Scheme Systems Consisting of Metal Sulfides, CoOx-Loaded BiVO4, and a Reduced Graphene Oxide Electron Mediator.
TL;DR: P powdered Z-schematic water splitting under visible light and simulated sunlight irradiation is demonstrated by combining metal sulfides as an H2-evolving photocatalyst, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as an electron mediator, and a visible-light-driven BiVO4 as an O2- Evolving photoc atalyst.
