PG - 16387-94 LID - 10.1021/acsami.5b03527 [doi] AB - The effective separation and transport of photoinduced electron-hole pairs in photoanodes is of great significance to photoelectrochemical and catalytic performance. Here, a facile and effective two-step strategy is developed to fabricate double-shelled ZnO/CdS/CdSe porous nanotube photoanodes from ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs). Surprisingly, after the process of the deposition of CdS and CdSe, the ZnO nanorod arrays are partially dissolved, resulting in the formation of ZnO/CdS/CdSe porous nanotube arrays (NTAs). By virtue of their unique porous nanotube structure and cosensitization effect, the ZnO/CdS/CdSe porous NTAs show superior photoelectrochemical water-splitting performance and organic-pollutant-degradation ability under visible light irradiation, as well as excellent long-term photostability.
