Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a promising approach for renewable hydrogen production. However, the practical PEC solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency is still low owing to poor light absorption and rapid recombination of charge carriers in photoelectrode. In this work, we report a ternary photoanode with simultaneously enhancement of light absorption and water oxidation efficiency by introducing copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and nickel iron-layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) on TiO₂ (denoted as TiO₂/CuPc/NiFe-LDH). An experimental study reveals that CuPc loading on TiO₂ bring strong visible light absorption; NiFe-LDH as an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst efficiently accelerates the surface water oxidation reaction. This synergistic effect of CuPc and NiFe-LDH gives enhanced photocurrent density (2.10 mA/cm² at 0.6 V vs. SCE) and excellent stability in the ternary TiO₂/CuPc/NiFeLDH photoanode.
