Abstract
The porous oxynitride TaON film electrode prepared on conducting glass (FTO) showed significantly high quantum efficiency (IPCE = ca. 76% at 400 nm at 0.6 V vs Ag/AgCl) in an aqueous Na2SO4 solution, after loading of IrO2·nH2O nanoparticles as a cocatalyst for water oxidation. Overall water splitting into H2 and O2 under visible light was demonstrated using an IrO2·nH2O-loaded TaON photoanode combined with a Pt electrode under an externally applied bias (0.6−1 V).This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
