摘要
Photoelectrochemical water splitting is a sustainable path to generate valuable hydrogen using sunlight and water as the only inputs.Despite significant efforts to date,it is still a challenge to achieve photoelectrode with superior performance and long-term stability.Many bismuth-based semiconductor materials have demonstrated excellent visible light harvesting capability and suitable band edge for water splitting.Herein,we summarized the latest studies conducted on bismuth-based photoelectrodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting.Specifically,photoelectrochemical properties of copper bismuth oxide(CuBi_(2)O_(4)),bismuth ferrites(BiFeO_(3),Bi_(2)Fe_(4)O_(9)),bismuth vanadate(BiVO_(4)),bismuth tungstate(Bi_(2)WO_(6)),bismuth molybdate(Bi_(2)MoO_(6))and bismuth oxyhalids(BiOX,X=I,Cl,Br)are presented.Strategies to achieve high stability and photolectrochemical performance were discussed in the aspects of nanostructure formation,heterostructure assembly,practical defect engineering,preferential facet growth and oxygen evolution catalyst incorporation.
