This research investigates the performance of PEDOT-TiO2 hybrid electrodes for photoelectrochemical energy conversion, focusing on their ability to utilize visible light and minimize charge-carrier recombination.
Electropolymerization of PEDOT on FTO substrates to create hybrid electrodes.
Conducted SEM, EDS, and LIBS analyses to confirm TiO2 deposition.
Performed PEC measurements to analyze photocurrent responses under HER and OER conditions.
The TiO2-PEDOT electrodes showed significantly higher photoresponses compared to commercial TiO2, with stable photocurrent retention of 99.0% under HER and 91.9% under OER after continuous illumination for 5200 s.
Enhanced long-wavelength absorption was noted in doped PEDOT films, improving visible-light utilization.
Electrochemical doping was effective in reducing the resistance of PEDOT electrodes, facilitating better charge transport.
