The photoelectrochemical properties of GaN particulate film electrode on Ti substrate were investigated. GaN particulate film electrode was fabricated by means of doctor blade technique. Two kinds of method were used to improve the connection between GaN particles. One is a heat treatment of GaN particulate thin film with LiNH 2 and another one is a heat treatment with TiCl 4 . From the results of the photoelectrochemical properties, GaN electrodes showed n-type semiconducting behavior in 1.0 M HCl electrolyte under UV irradiation. The high photocurrent response was achieved in the electrode with LiNH 2 treatment and TiCl 4 treatment because of its better connection of each GaN particle.
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.
