Three-Dimensional Lupinus-like TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanorod@Sn<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> Nanosheet Hierarchical Heterostructured Arrays as Photoanode for Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Performance Luping Zhu Hao Lu Dong Hao Lingling Wang Zihua Wu Lijun Wang Peng Li Jinhua Ye 10.1021/acsami.7b11872.s001 https://acs.figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/Three-Dimensional_Lupinus-like_TiO_sub_2_sub_Nanorod_Sn_sub_3_sub_O_sub_4_sub_Nanosheet_Hierarchical_Heterostructured_Arrays_as_Photoanode_for_Enhanced_Photoelectrochemical_Performance/5550178 A novel photoelectrode of three-dimensional (3D) lupinus-like TiO<sub>2</sub> nanorod@Sn<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanosheet hierarchical heterostructured arrays (TiO<sub>2</sub>@Sn<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> HHAs) on a transparent F-doped SnO<sub>2</sub> glass substrate was designed and fabricated by a two-step solvothermal growth process. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) measurements showed that the 3D lupinus-like TiO<sub>2</sub>@Sn<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> HHAs photoelectrode displayed enhanced photocurrent density (3-fold increase with respect to that of pure TiO<sub>2</sub>), improved conversion efficiency, more negative onset potential (from −0.13 to −0.33 V vs normal hydrogen electrode), and higher light on/off cycle stability. The improved PEC properties may be ascribable to the enhancement of light harvesting and large contact area with the electrolyte by increased surface area as well as improvement of charge transfer and collection through the synergistic effects between band structures and morphology. 2017-10-19 00:00:00 surface area F-doped SnO 2 glass substrate charge transfer solvothermal growth process Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Performance Sn 3 O 4 HHAs photoelectrode PEC properties conversion efficiency contact area heterostructured arrays band structures Sn 3 O 4 HHAs novel photoelectrode TiO 2 3 D lupinus-like TiO 2 light harvesting
