摘要
The Si and Ti codoped hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) photoanode film was dripped by Na3RhCl6 center dot 12H(2)O alkaline solution to negatively shift the onset potential of alpha-Fe2O3 photoanode by similar to 200 mV. The photocurrent densities of as-treated and untreated alpha-Fe2O3 are 0.6, and 0.08 mA/cm(2), respectively at 0 V vs. Ag/AgCl in the electrolyte of 1 M NaOH aqueous solution under 500 W xenon illumination. The IPCE (incident photon to current efficiency) of the as-treated alpha-Fe2O3 is 5.2% at 365 nm, 0 V vs. Ag/AgCl. A plausible explanation is proposed for the enhanced alpha-Fe2O3 photoelectrochemical responses. The result shows that rhodium could be ranked as an efficient oxygen evolution catalyst.
