مستخلص: Both light absorption and charge separation are highly important to the photoelectronic performance of semiconductor-based electrodes. Herein, we describe the fabrication of TiO2 nanotube arrays (NTAs) decorated with dual-functional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets using a facile hydrothermal method. The obtained MoS2/TiO2 heterojunction shows a high photocurrent density of 0.76 mA cm−2 at 1.23 VRHE (V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode), which is over five times higher than that of pristine TiO2 NTAs. The enhanced photoelectronic performance is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect between the extended light absorption and improved charge separation after the introduction of MoS2 nanosheet. This simple yet general strategy provides a unique platform to improve the catalytic activity of photoelectrode materials with a narrow band-gap. Both light absorption and charge separation are simultaneously enhanced via the fabrication of MoS2 nanosheets covered the top of TiO2 nanotube arrays (NTAs) to form MoS2/TiO2 heterojunction. This simple yet general strategy provides a unique platform to improve the catalytic activity of photoelectrode materials with a narrow band-gap. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
