Abstract:
ZnO flower-rod ordered arrays (ZFRs) were synthesized via a liquid phase method, and the ZFRs were sensitized with Ag and Ag2Se quantum dots (AA-ZFRs) by ion exchange. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectra (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize Ag and Ag2Se sensitized ZnO flower-rods (AA-ZFRs). And the photoelectrochemical properties and quantum efficiency were also investigated. The results indicate that the optical absorption of AA-ZFRs can be controllably tuned to cover almost the entire visible spectrum. The sensitization with Ag-Ag2Se restrains the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs due to the heterojunction between Ag-Ag2Se and ZFRs, and enhances the incident photon-to-electron conversion efficiency. Thus, the as-prepared AA-ZFRs exhibit a higher open-circuit photovoltage (-0.77 V Ag/AgCl) and short-circuit photocurrent (0.64 mA.cm(-2)) under visible light.
