Abstract

A facile synthesis process has been developed for the large-scale production of bismuth cuprate (CuBi 2 O 4 ) for attaining a high solar-to-hydrogen production efficiency via photoelectrochemical water splitting. Here we attempt to synthesize phase-pure CuBi 2 O 4 nanopowders using a modified solid-state reaction technique, subsequently sintered at ∼750 °C for 4 h in air. These pristine CuBi 2 O 4 (CBO) powders have been further sequentially ball-milled (SBM) up to 25 h to elucidate the milling duration effect on the optical bandgap of the ball-milled CuBi 2 O 4 (SBM-CBO). (Photo)electrochemical studies of drop-casted SBM-CBO/fluorine-doped SnO 2 rudimentary electrodes suggest their suitability as visible-light-responsive photocathode materials for sunlight-driven hydrogen production.
