High Solar Flux Concentration Water Splitting with Hematite (α‐Fe2O3) Photoanodes

Abstract

The water splitting performance of hematite photoanodes is explored under a wide range of light intensities. The photo­current scales linearly and the photovoltage scales logarithmically with the intensity, showing steeper rate than in photovoltaics, probably due to the enhanced ratio between charge transfer and recombination at high intensities. Hence, light concentration serves as another handle to enhance the efficiency of hematite photoanodes.
