Figure 3. Solar water splitting in a biased PEC cell.

Figure 3

(a) Steady-state IV curves. (b) IPCEs at 1.23 VRHE. (c) Stability test and (d) gas evolution from PEC water splitting of photoanodes at 1.15 VRHE. The solid lines in d are calculated values that correspond to the measured photocurrent. Action spectra for (e) BiVO4, (f) Fe2O3 and (g) HDP (BiVO4||Fe2O3) showing correspondence between IPCE, light-harvesting efficiency (LHE) and transmittance. Photoanodes BiVO4 and Fe2O3 denote NiOOH/FeOOH/H, 1% Mo:BiVO4 and Ni2FeOx/H, TiO2/0.5% Ti:Fe2O3, respectively. All data were obtained using an electrolyte of 1.0 M KCi at pH=9.2 under 1 sun illumination.
