Abstract

The article delves into the optimization of photoelectrochemical water oxidation performance by modifying α-Fe2O3 film with a sub-stoichiometric molybdenum oxide (MoOx) layer rich in oxygen vacancies. The study highlights the enhanced charge separation and injection efficiency achieved through this modification, which results in a significant improvement in photocurrent density. The research focuses on the creation of an optimized heterojunction between MoOx and Sn-doped α-Fe2O3, demonstrating the potential of this approach for advancing solar energy conversion technologies. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the charge dynamics and band structures, supported by experimental data from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Mott–Schottky analysis. The findings reveal that the optimized Z-shaped band alignment in the N2-annealed MoOx/Sn-Fe2O3 heterojunction photoanode leads to better photo-induced carrier separation and transfer properties. This work offers valuable insights into the development of high-performance photoanodes for efficient solar energy utilization.
