摘要
We demonstrate that the photoelectrochemical oxidation of water over undoped and Ti-doped alpha-Fe2O3 electrodes could be highly enhanced by in situ electrochemical reduction pretreatment at -1.2 <= E < -0.6 V versus a saturated calomel electrode in the dark in aqueous 1 M NaOH electrolyte for tens of minutes. This enhancement is mainly due to a significant decrease of charge recombination and a favourable photohole transfer and is physically associated with the partial transformation of Fe2O3 to Fe3O4/FeOOH and Fe by electrochemical reduction.
