摘要
N-Type pyrite (FeS2) thin films, deposited on titanium substrates, have been synthesized and photoelectrochemically characterized. Its flat band potential has been estimated to be -0.75 +/- 0.05V vs Ag/AgCl by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The corresponding energy level diagram of the FeS2/electrolyte interface has been established. Profuse hydrogen flows have been produced under visible light illumination of FeS2 photoanode in a photo electrochemical cell (PEC) at different bias potentials. Their values, measured by mass spectrometry (MS), were higher than 5 mu mol H-2/min.cm(2). Hydrogen photogeneration efficiencies of similar to 8% have been reached.
