研究目的
Investigating the photocharging effect on Fe2TiO5/Fe2O3 photoanodes to enhance photoelectrochemical water splitting performance.
研究成果
The photocharging treatment significantly enhances the PEC water splitting performance of Fe2TiO5/Fe2O3 photoanodes by forming Fe(IV) intermediates that accelerate water oxidation kinetics. This effect is reversible through a discharging process. The findings provide insights into the design of efficient water splitting catalysts.
研究不足
The study focuses on the photocharging effect in hematite-based photoanodes, and the findings may not be directly applicable to other materials. The mechanism of photocharging is explored, but further studies are needed to optimize the process for practical applications.
