An n-type (001) TiO2 electrode irradiated at 365 nm was tested under anodic polarization: a saturation current independent of pH and proportional to light intensity has been observed. Accurate measurements of the incident power lead to a 60% photon efficiency. A photoelectrochemical cell built with such an electrode, operated under solar irradiation without concentration, produced an electrolysis current of 0.7 mA cm−2 without applied voltage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
