ABSTRACT ABSTRACT In this thesis, we utilized simple hydrothermal method to achieve the epitaxial growth of TiO2 and ZnO nanorod array photoelectrodes on FTO glass and their morphology and ratio of length to diameter were optimized by searching suitable synthesis conditions. On this basis ，we considered the fact that both TiO2 and ZnO are wide gap semiconductors (band gap over 3 eV) and they can only absorb ultraviolet light. However, most of the solar energy is distributed into visible light. In this thesis, we enhanced the phoelectrochemical performance of the photoelectrodes by improving their visible light absorption. We used glucose as carbon source to modify the TiO2 nanorod by carbon doping. Although obvious red shift phenomenon was not appear in the UV-vis spectrum, the photocurrent vs voltage (I-V) results achieved under standard light intensity showed increased photocurrent after modification. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) results showed the TiO examples are rutile TiO and 2 2 the crystal phase did not change after a low concentration of carbon doping. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that the TiO2 nanorod shows cuboid shape, about 1 m in length and 100 nm in width. For the modification of ZnO nanorod, we chose thiourea as the sulfur source and the ethanediamine (forming complex with Cd2+ ions) was used to control the simple hydrothermal reaction process of depositing CdS and Zn Cd S on ZnO.
