Photoelectrochemical solar cells are promising because of their low cost and fabrication process. Iron oxide (hematite phase) can be employed in forming a semiconductor/electrolyte junction to harness solar energy. Given a bandgap of 2.2 eV of Fe2O3 , a maximum of 12-13 mAcm−2 can be extracted from...
