Abstract

Development of solar energy converters with earth-abundant and environmentally friendly materials is one of the key routes explored towards a sustainable future. In this work, crystalline delafossite-phase CuAlO2 and CuFeO2 thin film solar water splitting photocathodes were fabricated using pulsed laser deposition. It was found that the desired delafossite phase was formed only after high temperature annealing in an oxygen-free atmosphere. The homogeneous delafossite bulk structure of the films was determined by correlating simulation results from first-principles calculations with synchrotron-based X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. Both CuAlO2 and CuFeO2 photocathodes are active for solar water splitting, with the latter more efficient due to its narrower band gap and improved light absorption.

在 YSZ (001) 基底上用脉冲激光沉积作为太阳能水分离光电阴极的二长石氧化物薄膜
利用丰富的地球和环境友好型材料开发太阳能转换器是实现可持续未来的关键途径之一。在这项研究中,利用脉冲激光沉积法制造了结晶的铁石棉相 CuAlO2 和 CuFeO2 薄膜太阳能水分离光电阴极。研究发现,只有在无氧气氛中进行高温退火后,才能形成所需的铁石棉相。通过将第一原理计算的模拟结果与同步辐射 X 射线吸收近边缘结构 (XANES) 光谱相关联,确定了薄膜的均质 delafossite 体结构。CuAlO2 和 CuFeO2 光电阴极在太阳能水分离方面都很活跃,而后者由于带隙更窄、光吸收能力更强而效率更高。
