Photocurrent increase by metal modification of Fe2O3 photoanodes and its effect on photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen production by degradation of organic substances
Metals-modified hematite photoanodes prepared by electrodeposition method. Ti and Ni-modified hematite thin films showed the higher photocurrents values. The optimal loading of modifier was found at nominal 1% for Ni and 3% for Ti. The highest H2 production was obtained on 3%Ti-Fe2O3 in the presence of glucose.
