摘要

Hematite (Fe2O3) nanorods on FTO substrates have been proven to be promising photoanodes for solar fuel production but only with high temperature thermal activation which allows diffusion of tin (Sn) ions from FTO, eventually enhancing their conductivity. Hence, there is a trade-off between the conductivity of Fe2O3, and the degradation of FTO occurring at high annealing temperatures (>750 °C). Here, we present a comprehensive study on undoped Fe2O3 nanorods under front and back illumination to find the optimum annealing temperature. Bulk/surface charge transport efficiency analysis demonstrates minimum bulk recombination indicating overall high quality crystalline Fe2O3 and the preservation of FTO conductivity. Surface recombination is further improved by growing a TiOx overlayer, which improves the photocurrent density from 0.2 mA cm−2 (backside) to 1.2 mA cm−2 under front side and 0.8 mA cm−2 under backside illumination. It is evident from this study that the performance of undoped and unpassivated hematite nanorods is limited by electron transport, whereas that of doped/passivated hematite nanorods is limited by hole transport.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
