| description | In the present paper describe the zinc oxide (ZnO) with various morphologies have been synthesized using the one-step hydrothermal method, in which the growth of ZnO nanostructures are significantly tailored by adjusting the pH level between 9 and 12 using 0.1 M Sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Significant results reveal the morphological properties of ZnO nanostructures varied with different pH values with the formation of ZnO nanostructures have different morphological such as a baton, star, flower, and rod-like structures. The present results show the rod-like structure of ZnO nanostructures exhibits the highest photocurrent density of 746.61 μAcm−2 (at 1.23 V vs RHE) under simulated solar AM 1.5G illumination in Potassium hydroxide (KOH) medium, also the other morphologies. The dependent of the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting properties on the different morphological of ZnO nanostructures are studied. Achieving the morphological evolution mechanism has become one of the method to obtain the production of the hydrogen growth regime used for solar energy conversion and their applied storage potentials. The application of the ZnO nanostructures for PEC water splitting was proposed with the adoption of screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). These are to quantify the best degree of the highest photocurrent density with one-step tailoring with an ideal modeling system to enhance PEC water splitting performances. Thus, the screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPEs) has been used as an alternative method for fabrication and photoelectrodes testings. © 2019 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC |
