Defective ZnFe2O4 nanorods with oxygen vacancy for photoelectrochemical water splitting

Nanoscale, 2015, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/C5NR05812K, Paper

Ju Hun Kim, Youn Jeong Jang, Jin Hyun Kim, Ji-Wook Jang, Sun Hee Choi, Jae Sung Lee
A 1D ZnFe₂O₄ photoanode is treated under a hydrogen or vacuum atmosphere to improve the photoelectrochemical water oxidation activity up to 20 times. This post-treatment creates oxygen vacancies in the ZnFe₂O₄ lattice that serve as a source of electron donors and passivates surface trap sites, and as a result improves charge transfer.
