Abstract

The present work shows the influence of the film thickness in the optical and photoelectrochemical properties of nanostructured α-Fe2O3 thin film. We found that the film thickness has a strong influence on the optical absorption and the results here reported can help in the design of nanostructured α-Fe2O3 with superior performance for water photo-oxidation. The results show that the optical property of the hematite film is affected by the film thickness, probably due to the stress induced by the strong interaction between film and substrate. This stress generates defects in the crystal lattice of the hematite film, increasing the (e−)–(h+) recombination process.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
