Construction of p-Bi 2 O 3 /n-ZnO nanowire heterojunctions with enhanced photoelectrochemical properties
Abstract
Bi 2 O 3 /ZnO arrays are fabricated via hydrothermal and thermal oxidation. The optimized heterojunction yields a photocurrent three times higher than that of ZnO, attributed to the small valence band offset and efficient charge separation.
