제목 Defect-pairs of Titanium and Carbon in Iron Oxide Film for Efficient Visible Light Driven Water Splitting
초록 Iron oxide (hematite, Fe2O3) has recently attracted much attention for solar-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation, but it has very short hole diffusion length and low carrier mobility, which causes considerable recombination of photo-generated electrons and holes. We found a much simpler way to improve the electrical properties of Fe2O3 film, namely defect-pairs due to co-doping. Titanium (Ti) and carbon (C) co-doped thin Fe2O3 film (i.e. (Ti,C)-Fe2O3) turns out to lead significantly enhanced PEC performance when used as a photoanode. The origin for such substantial enhancement will be discussed in detail: A series of experimental and computational spectroscopies which indicate that C atoms can be more deeply and heavily doped under the existence of Ti dopants in Fe2O3 film and then the defect-pairs of Ti and C increase not only charge carrier density but also electron’s mobility.
