Abstract Picture

Operando X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) Observation of Photoinduced Oxidation in FeNi (Oxy)hydroxide Overlayers on Hematite (α-Fe2O3) Photoanodes for Solar Water Splitting

An FeNi (oxy)hydroxide cocatalyst overlayer was photoelectrochemically deposited on a thin-film hematite (α-Fe2O3) photoanode, leading to a cathodic shift of ∼100 mV in the photocurrent onset potential. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Fe and Ni K-edges was used to study the changes in the overlayer with potential in the dark and under illumination… Continue Reading Operando X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) Observation of Photoinduced Oxidation in FeNi (Oxy)hydroxide Overlayers on Hematite (α-Fe2O3) Photoanodes for Solar Water Splitting
