Improving the Efficiency of Hematite Nanorods for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting by Doping with Manganese
Open accessAbstract
Here, we report a significant improvement of the photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of hematite (α-Fe2O3) to oxidize water by doping with manganese. Hematite nanorods were grown on a fluorine-treated tin oxide (FTO) substrate by a hydrothermal method in the presence on Mn. Systematic physical analyses were performed to investigate the presence of Mn in the samples. Fe2O3 nanorods with 5 mol % Mn treatment showed a photocurrent density of 1.6 mA cm(-2) (75% higher than that of pristine Fe2O3) at 1.23 V versus RHE and a plateau photocurrent density of 3.2 mA cm(-2) at 1.8 V versus RHE in a 1 M NaOH electrolyte solution (pH 13.6). We attribute the increase in the photocurrent density, and thus in the oxygen evolving capacity, to the increased donor density resulting from Mn doping of the Fe2O3 nanorods, as confirmed by Mott-Schottky measurement, as well as the suppression of electron-hole recombination and enhancement in hole transport, as detected by chronoamperometry measurements.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
