A novel three-dimensional (3D) photoanode consisting of TiO2nanorod arrays (TiO2NAs) coated by exfoliated WS2nanosheets was fabricated for enhanced photoelectrochemical water oxidation. Mixed phase WS2nanosheets with 1 T percentage of 55% were exfoliated by the lithium insertion, which were then coated on the top of TiO2NAs by a drop-casting method. By optimizing the loading amount of WS2, a maximum photocurrent of ∼1.8 mA/cm2could be obtained at +1.8 V vs. RHE under AM 1.5 irradiation (100 mW/cm2), which is 2.3 times higher compared to the pure TiO2NAs (0.8 mA/cm2). The enhanced photo-activity should be attributed to the presence of the mixed phase WS2nanosheets, which have excellent charge transport ability and can accept photogenerated holes for water oxidation.
