| ABSTRACT |
|
Semiconducting $alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ film was prepared by the cathodic electrodeposition method on Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) substrate for photoelectrochemical cell application. After heat treatment at 50$0^{circ}C$, the phase was changed from Fe to $alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$. The phase, morphology, absorbance, and photocurrent density (A/$textrm{cm}^2$) of the film depended on the preparation conditions: deposition time, applied voltage, and the duration of heat treatment. The $alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ film was characterized by X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and UV -Visible Spectrophotometer. The stability of the $alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ film in aqueous solution was tested at zero bias potential under the white-light source of 100 mW/$textrm{cm}^2$. The apparent grain size of the films formed at -2.0 V was larger than that grown at -2.5 V. The $alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ film deposited at -2.0 V for 180 s and heat-treated at 50$0^{circ}C$ for 1 h showed the predominant photocurrent of 834$mu$A/$textrm{cm}^2$. |
