Thin MoO 2 films were electrodeposited on a selenium pre-deposited SnO 2 |glass plate. The photoelectrochemical properties of MoO 2 films were investigated in 0.1 M Na 2 SO 4 solution by the ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, linear sweep voltammetry, and altering current impedance measurement techniques. It was found that under illumination with the incident light of λ=366 nm, the photo response of the MoO 2 |SnO 2 |glass electrode resulted from the MoO 2 layer, while the SnO 2 layer served as a sink for photogenerated charge carriers. The MoO 2 film exhibited ntype conductivity. A schematic band structure diagram of MoO 2 in 0.1 M Na 2 SO 4 solution was constructed. The flat band potential (E fb ), the donor concentration (N D ), the photogeneration current efficiency depended on MoO 2 film thickness. The [Fe(CN) 6 ] 4−/3− redox PEC cell with MoO 2 | SnO 2 |glass plate as a photoanode was constructed. Power output characteristics such as the open circuit voltage (V OC ), short circuit current (I SC ), the fill factor (FF), and the lightto-electrical conversion efficiency (η) were determined. The maximum light-to-electrical conversion efficiency exhibited by the PEC cell was 0.94 %.
