Reinforcement of a BiVO<sub>4</sub> anode with an Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> underlayer for photoelectrochemical water splitting
SocMan Ho‐Kimura, Wenjun Luo
Abstract
An Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/BiVO<sub>4</sub> heterojunction was found to be successfully formed by placing a haematite underlayer on a BiVO<sub>4</sub> anode. This composite anode has a significant improvement in PEC photocurrent in the low bias region.
