Abstract

Abstract: In this work, a two-step electrodeposition method was employed to prepare BiPO₄ nanorod/reduced graphene oxide/FTO composite electrodes (BiPO₄/rGO/FTO). The BiPO₄/rGO/FTO composite electrode showed the higher photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) activity for the removal of methyl orange than pure BiPO₄, which was 2.8 times higher than that of BiPO₄/FTO electrode. The effects of working voltage and BiPO₄ deposition time on the degradation efficiency of methyl orange were investigated. The optimum BiPO₄ deposition time was 45 min and the optimum working voltage was 1.2 V. The trapping experiments showed that hydroxyl radicals (^·OH) and superoxide radicals (^·O₂^-) were the major reactive species in PEC degradation process. The BiPO₄/rGO/FTO composite electrode showed the high stability and its methyl orange removal efficiency remained unchanged after four testing cycles. The reasons for the enhanced PEC efficiency of the BiPO₄/rGO/FTO composite electrode was ascribed to the broad visible-light absorption range, the rapid transmission of photogenerated charges, and the mixed BiPO₄ phase by the introduction of rGO in the composite electrode films.
