A bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄) photoanode with a cocatalyst consisting of NiFe layered double-hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) nanoparticles was fabricated for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. NiFe-LDH nanoparticles, which can improve light-absorption capacities and facilitate efficient hole transfer to the surface, were deposited on the surface of the BiVO₄ photoanode by a hydrothermal method. All the samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy. Linear sweep voltammetry and current-time plots were used to investigate the PEC activity. The photocurrent response of NiFe-LDH/BiVO₄ at 1.23 V vs the reversible hydrogen electrode was higher than those of Ni(OH)₂/BiVO₄, Fe(OH)₂/BiVO₄ and pure BiVO₄ electrodes under visible-light illumination. NiFe-LDH/BiVO₄ also gave a superior PEC hydrogen evolution performance. Furthermore, the stability of the NiFe-LDH/BiVO₄ photoanode was excellent compared with that of the bare BiVO₄ photoanode, and offers a novel method for solar-assisted water splitting.
