Abstract:
In order to improve the utilization of hot electrons in the Ag/TiO2 photoanode, there is a need to increase the contact area within Ag/TiO2 interface and transform the migration mode of hot electrons. In this work, hierarchical Ag/SiO2/TiO2 nanobowl (NB) arrays with large pore size were fabricated and their local electric field distribution and variation of electron-hole concentration were simulated by COMSOL software. The results demonstrate that the nanobowl with curved surface contained more Ag particles, moreover, the addition of SiO2 layer gives assiatance to increase light absorption and enhance LSPR. A number of hot electrons can own the opportunity to inject into TiO2 in form of tunneling instead of surpassing the Schottky barrier. The impedance radius of the Ag/SiO2/TiO2 is the smallest and the photocurrent density is the highest, indicating the rapid migration of electrons. © 2022, Science Press. All right reserved.
