  • Photoelectrochemical measurements and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS).

    • Main Results:

    • Successful synthesis of Fe2TiO5-hematite heterostructures.
    • Significantly enhanced photocurrent density compared to pristine hematite (e.g., 2.0 mA/cm² at 1.23 V vs RHE).
    • Further performance improvement to 2.6 mA/cm² at 1.23 V vs RHE upon coupling with Co-Pi catalysts.
    • XAS confirmed the Fe2TiO5 structure and heterojunction formation, indicating reduced photogenerated hole accumulation.

    Conclusions:

    • The Fe2TiO5-hematite heterostructure effectively improves photoanode performance.
    • The heterojunction formation plays a key role in reducing charge carrier recombination.
    • This approach offers a viable strategy for enhancing solar water splitting efficiency.
