Abstract
A method for coating a substrate with a Co-Pi modified BiVO/WOheterostructure film includes direct current reactive sputtering tungsten (W) onto a substrate in a gaseous mixture containing oxygen to form a tungsten trioxide (WO) film, direct current reactive sputtering bismuth (Bi) onto the tungsten trioxide (WO) film in a gaseous mixture containing oxygen to form a dibismuth trioxide (BiO) film, drop-casting a vanadyl acetylacetonate solution onto the BiOfilm and heating at a temperature of at least 450° C. in ambient air to convert the BiOfilm to a BiVOfilm, and photoelectrochemically coating the BiVOfilm with a cobalt-phosphate (Co-Pi) to form a modified film on the surface of the substrate. A photoanode containing the Co-Pi modified BiVO/WOheterostructure film prepared by the method, and its application in water splitting.
