Abstract

Abstract The development of advanced photoelectrode materials for water splitting is as important as recycling to solve environmental problems. In this Communication, we report a facile hydrothermal epitaxial growth of hematite films from ferrioxalate solution, where the pH, isoelectric point and crystal nature of the substrates play key roles in the film growth. In a photoelectrochemical cell, the hematite photoanodes showed high activity to oxidize water, oxalate or phenol molecules, resulting in hydrogen generation on the counter electrode. This work shines a new light in the direction of environmental waste recycling.
