摘要: Abstract As the potential applications of nanostructured Si/Cu 2 O heterojunction in electronic and photoelectronic devices, various methods has been developed to fabricate such heterojunctions. In this study, nanowire arrays were fabricated by in-situ thermal decomposition Cu(NO 3 ) on silicon nanowires. The as-decomposed Cu nanoparticles found be uniformly distributed surfaces Si microstructure, chemical composition states products investigated. Utilized as photoanodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting, exhibited a maximum photocurrent density 4 mA/cm at 1.23 V vs. RHE an onset 0.62 V RHE.
