Paper doi abstract bibtex Micro-structured p-Si/TiO 2 /NiO x allows for efficient photoelectrochemical H 2 production from seawater. , Solar fuels such as H 2 generated from sunlight and seawater using earth-abundant materials are expected to be a crucial component of a next generation renewable energy mix. We herein report a systematic analysis of the photo-electrochemical performance of TiO 2 coated, microstructured p-Si photo-electrodes (p-Si/TiO 2 ) that were functionalized with CoO x and NiO x for H 2 generation. These photocathodes were synthesized from commercial p-Si wafers employing wet chemical methods. In neutral phosphate buffer and standard 1 sun illumination, the p-Si/TiO 2 /NiO x photoelectrode showed a photocurrent density of −1.48 mA cm −2 at zero bias (0 V RHE ), which was three times and 15 times better than the photocurrent densities of p-Si/TiO 2 /CoO x and p-Si/TiO 2 , respectively.

Based on the electrochemical characterizations and the high energy resolution fluorescence detected X-ray absorption near edge structure (HERFD-XANES) and emission spectroscopy measurements performed at the Ti Kα 1 fluorescence line, the superior performance of the p-Si/TiO 2 /NiO x photoelectrode was attributed to improved charge transfer properties induced by the NiO x coating on the protective TiO 2 layer, in combination with a higher catalytic activity of NiO x for H 2 -evolution. Moreover, we report here an excellent photo-electrochemical performance of p-Si/TiO 2 /NiO x photoelectrode in corrosive artificial seawater (pH 8.4) with an unprecedented photocurrent density of 10 mA cm −2 at an applied potential of −0.7 V RHE , and of 20 mA cm −2 at −0.9 V RHE . The applied bias photon-to-current conversion efficiency (ABPE) at −0.7 V RHE and 10 mA cm −2 was found to be 5.1%.
