ZnO nanorods were hydrothermally synthesized on the surface of indium tin oxide glass using precipitate pre-treating method.The ZnO nanorods were uniformly and firmly grown on the indium tin oxide glass and possesed high photoelectrochemical oxygen evolution performance.Then electriocatalysis Nickel-borate were deposited onto the surface of ZnO with electro-assisted photodeposition method.The composite photoanodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM),X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the UV-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy,and the photoelectrochernical water oxidation properties of ZnO/Ni-Bi composite photoanodes were investigated by electrochemical and photcelectrochemical methods.The effect of deposition methods,deposition time and heat treatment progress to the photoelectrochemical oxygen evolution performance of the ZnO/Ni-Bi composited photoanodes were invesigated.The performance of ZnO is improved for as high as 40% after coupling with Ni-Bi.The high oxygen evolution activity of the composite photoanodes can be attributed to separation and inhibit of hole-electron recombination by Ni-Bi through facilitating the transfer of photon-induced holes from ZnO for water oxidation.
