摘要：
A highly efficient inverse-opal structured BiVO4/WO3 photoanode and a MnO2/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite modified cathode were successfully synthesized in this paper. The optimized BiVO4/WO3 inverse opal photoanode achieved a photocurrent density of similar to 5.04 mA/cm(2) at 1.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl under simulated AM 1.5 illumination, which was 2.84 and 2.36 times higher than that of WO(3 )inverse opal photoanode and BiVO4/WO3 nanoflake photoanode, respectively. The BiVO4/WO3 inverse opal photoanode was coupled with the MnO2/GO modified cathode to build up a novel visible-light responsive phot...
