Enhanced Water Splitting by Fe2O3-TiO2-FTO Photoanode with Modified Energy Band Structure by Eul Noh, Kyung-Jong Noh, Kang-Seop Yun, Bo-Ra Kim, Hee-June Jeong, Hyo-Jin Oh, Sang-Chul Jung, Woo-Seung Kang, Sun-Jae Kim

“…Regardless of the location of the TiO2 layer in the photoanodes, that is, Fe2O3/TiO2/FTO or TiO2/Fe2O3/FTO, high performance was obtained when α-Fe2O3 and H-TiNT/anatase-TiO2 phases existed in the constituent Fe2O3 and TiO2 layers after optimized heat treatments. The presence of the Fe2O3 nanoparticles with high uniformity in the each layer of the Fe2O3/TiO2/FTO photoanode achieved by a simple dipping process seemed to positively affect the performance improvement by modifying the energy band structure to a more favorable one for efficient electrons transfer. …”
