Thicker films lead to poor charge separation efficiency due to bulk recombination, while thinner films suffered from poor light absorption and increased interfacial recombination.
Transition metal oxides have long been studied as photocatalysts, however, these materials show low CO2 conversion efficiencies because of their wide band gap, which results in poor light absorption characteristics in the visible range.
This can be explained by the poor light absorption ability and long carrier diffusion length of Si [25].
The poor light absorption ability of LDHs with Zn/Al ratio 2 1 and 3 1 caused its low activity under irradiation (Table 2).

Sb2S3 acts as the light absorber to mitigate poor visible light absorption and rGO serves as a electrically conductive layer to enhance the low quantum efficiency of WO3.
In this study, the Sb2S3 and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are incoporated in the TiO2 electrode respectively as the light absorber to mitigate poor visible light absorption and the conductive layer to enhance the low quantum efficiency of the intrisic TiO2.
Under illumination, as indicated in Figure 6b, the AZO nanorod array thin film with hydrogen treatment still showed quite low photocurrent density because of its poor visible light absorption.
In addition, the supported plasmonic metal nanoparticle based photocatalysts (i.e., Au, Ag, and Cu) show a relatively poor efficiency for light absorption compared to their semiconductor counterpart, and the particle size of the metal would have to be controlled strictly to absorb photons with the desired energies25.
Due to the inherent defects of precursor molecular structure, the limited effect of structure in the formed g-C3N4 will weaken the extension of delocalization of π electrons between the adjacent tri-s-triazine or heptazine units of g-C3N4, which thus leads to poor visible-light absorption, low utilization efficiency of charge carrier.
However, the performance of intrinsic ZnO is limited by several factors such as insufficient light absorption, poor charge transport and low conductivity.
However, the problems caused by the large bandgap (3.0 3.2 eV) result in poor efficiency and limited light absorption in the visible region, which makes a practical application difficult [6, 7].
