Abstract
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting provides an alternative strategy for clean and renewable hydrogen production; however, the practical application is severely limited by the low solar conversion. Herein, a novel and simple strategy has been developed to construct a 3D branched TiO2 photoanode with an ultrathin Al2O3 passivation layer and NiOOH cocatalyst. The structure and properties of the as-obtained photoanodes are explored by X-ray diffraction, Mott-Schottky, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and open circuit voltage measurements. The as-obtained B-TiO2/Al2O3/NiOOH ternary heterojunction with a high-quality contact interface exhibits improved light absorption ability, an enhanced photocurrent density of 1.42 mA/cm2 at 1.23 VRHE, high conversion efficiency (0.44% at 0.80 VRHE), and excellent stability compared to pristine TiO2 and alone-Al2O3 or NiOOH decorated TiO2 photoanodes. Therefore, this work could offer a new approach to designing and fabricating high-quality contact interfaces between photoelectrodes and various cocatalysts.

Abstract
Phosphonate groups loaded on the surface of the visible-light-responsive photocatalyst Ru-loaded La,Rh-doped SrTiO3 (Ru/La,Rh:STO) via a silane-coupling treatment enhance the photocatalytic activity of this material during the hydrogen evolution reaction. Surface modification with an alkylsilane phosphonate accelerates the supply of reactants to active sites and is much more effective at improving the photocatalytic activity than the utilization of a phosphate-buffered electrolyte as a reaction solution. In contrast, the incorporation of amine, sulfonate, and propyl groups does not improve the activity. The effects of these functional groups introduced via silane coupling on the reaction kinetics of hydrogen evolution are evaluated separately from the oxidative reaction using electrochemical methods. It was also demonstrated that the present alkylsilane phosphonate modification increases the photocatalytic activity even under a low photon flux.
