Abstract:
We report the synthesis of iron based titanate (Fe2TiO5) thin films using a simple low cost hydrothermal technique. We show that this Fe2TiO5 works well as a photoanode for the photoelectrochemical splitting of water due to favorable band energetic. Further characterization of thin films including band positions with respect to water redox levels has been investigated. We conclude that Fe2TiO5 is a promising material comparable to hematite for constructing PEC cells.
