Topographic essential synthesis of nanomaterials by adjusting easy preparatory factors is an effective

way to improve a variety of nanostructured materials. The SILAR technique is used to evaluate the

manufacturing samples of MoO3, TiO2, and MoTiO5 nanostructures. These nanostructures of MoO3,

TiO2, and MoTiO5 are used as electrode materials in photovoltaic systems. The link between

photoelectrochemical characteristics and MoO3, TiO2, and MoTiO5 nanostructures is studied in depth.

The photoelectrochemical characteristics of MoO3, TiO2, and MoTiO5 nanostructures are discovered

to be highly dependent. At a 5mV/s scan rate, the photocurrent of MoO3, TiO2, and MoTiO5 electrodes

surged fast when sunlight was turned on, reaching values of 1.03mAcm-2, 1.68mAcm-2, and 14.20mA

cm-2, respectively. As soon as the sunshine was turned off, the photocurrent value dropped to zero.

Photocurrent transitions showed quick, homogeneous photocurrent counterpart; this suggested that

charge transfer in these ingredients is speedy and possibly related to the crystal buildings of MoO3,

TiO2 and MoTiO5. MoTiO5 nano-belt and nano-disc thin films have typical uses in the

photoelectrochemical sector because they have the best photoresponse and stability. In conclusion, the

structure of MoO3, TiO2, and MoTiO5 nanostructures was effectively altered using the SILAR

approach by adjusting basic preparation conditions. Experiments also indicated that altering the

deposition time may change the size of MoTiO5 nanostructures. In enlarged MoTiO5 nanostructures,

photocurrent measurements demonstrated a decreased fault concentration and higher optical quality.

The photocurrent produced by the MoTiO5 nanostructures is steady and reproducible over many

cycles, showing that the electrode is photocorrosion-free. The new production method is predicted to

pique relevancy in the study of further metal oxide nanostructures and nanomaterials.
