Abstract:
The CdS modified TiO2 nanotube arrays were fabricated by sonication anodic oxidation-sequential chemical bath deposition (S-CBD) approach and their mass transfer properties in photoelectrochemical reaction were studies. The results show that deposition of CdS nanoparticles significantly improved the absorption activity in visible light region. Compared to the pure TiO2 nanotube arrays electrode, the deposited CdS nanoparticles reduced the charge carrier transfer resistance, improved the charge transfer rate and lead to the enhanced photoelectric activities. The sonication-assisted deposition approach is helpful in obtaining uniform distribution of CdS nanoparticles on the TiO2 electrode surface, which can further facilitate the separation and transfer of photogenerated charges and exhibit a higher charge carrier density of 9.29 × 1019 cm-3.
