摘要
In order to fabricate photoelectrochemical devices, multilayer films composed of positively charged titanium dioxide (TiO2) colloids and anionic tungsto(molybdo)phosphate (PW12 and P2Mo18) or poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) have been prepared by the layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly method. These films were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, IR spectra, and atomic force microscopy. Photocurrent transient measurement Suggested that the photocurrent response of the PW12/TiO2 composite film was highly dependent on Will thickness (viz., the deposited number of layers). Both current-voltage Curves and photocurrent transient measurement demonstrate that the photocurrent and power conversion efficiency of the PW12/TiO2 composite film were markedly enhanced in comparison with that of the P2Mo18/TiO2 film and the PSS/TiO2 film. Furthermore, the PW12/TiO2 composite film also exhibited the most significant pholoelectrooxidation activity for methanol. These results provide valuable information for photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical applications.
