摘要
Abstract Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as cocatalyst for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is promising but still in its infancy due to the challenge to fabricate high‐quality MOFs coated photoelectrodes. Herein, a successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method is used to fabricate high‐quality conformal and ultrathin MOFs overlayer with preferred orientation on nanoporous BiVO 4 films. 20 molecular monolayers of Co‐MOF coated BiVO 4 photoanodes exhibit 3.1‐folds of photocurrent density in comparison with pristine BiVO 4 . The onset potential shows a negative shift of 320 mV. To further demonstrate the extensibility of SILAR method, the alternative Co‐MOF and Ni‐MOF coated BiVO 4 photoanodes deliver an enhanced photocurrent density of 2.97 mA cm −2 . The PEC performance achieved rivals the reported results of BiVO 4 and MOF hybrid photoanodes. The PEC improvements should be attributed to the high‐quality conformal and ultrathin MOFs overlayer, which can efficiently passivate the surface states of BiVO 4 , and accelerate the hole transfer through Co‐MOF layer. Three critical roles of Co‐MOF overlayer are elaborately revealed. In contrast, hydrothermally prepared BiVO 4 /Co‐MOF photoanodes possess inferior PEC performance, such as the photocurrent, and stability. This work clearly demonstrates SILAR method is a simple and efficient approach to realize conformal and ultrathin MOF coating with high‐quality.
