Photoelectrochemical Properties of the Zn‐Ti‐Fe Spinel Oxides

Abstract: The electronic and photoelectrochemical properties of the n‐type spinel oxides consisting of Zn‐Ti‐Fe are studied. The composition systems that give the single phase of the spinel structure are Znx2+Fe1−x3+false[Fe1−x2+Fe1+x3+false]O4 and Zn2+false[Zn0.5x2+Ti0.5x4+Fe2−x3+false]O4 . The conductivities of the former oxides are governed by the hopping mechanism between Fe2+ and Fe3+ at the octahedral site, while those of the latter oxides will be governed by normal band conduction. The difference between the Fe… Show more

“…The exponent n can take values of 2, 1/2, 2/3, and 1/3 for the allowed direct, allowed indirect, forbidden direct and the forbidden indirect transitions, respectively. The previous reports on polycrystalline samples gave the Zn 2 TiO 4 bandgap by estimating the absorption edge and measuring the conductivity, respectively 12, 23–25. However, none of the above authors pointed out the types of interband transition, and no theoretical calculation study has been carried out.…”

“…The T sites are occupied by half of the divalent Zn cations and the O sites are filled by a stoichiometric mixing of the divalent Zn and tetravalent Ti cations randomly. The band structure of Zn 2 TiO 4 should be estimated from the interaction between the cations and the oxygen in the octahedral site, and it is presumed that the valence band of Zn 2 TiO 4 is O 2− 2p orbitals, and the conduction band is Ti 4+ t 2g orbitals or Zn 2+ 4s orbitals 12. Our results indicate that Zn 2 TiO 4 is an indirect bandgap material, and the bandgap is 3.29 eV.…”

“…To date, several methods have been adopted for the solid-based band/electronic structure measurement and speculation, such as ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) [28], flatband-potential-determination based photoeletrochemical techniques [29][30][31], atom's Mulliken electronegativity theory [6,27,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38] and density functional theory (DFT) calculation based on plane wave pseudo potential method [39][40][41]. The band-gap width, CB/VB of the catalysts series BiOX (X = F, Cl, Br, I) semiconductor were calculated by means of DFT method [42].…”
