ZnO based photoelectrode for water splitting

Abstract

Greenhouse effect and depletion of the fossil fuels motivate scientific society to search for the new sources of energy. This tendency toward green energy has some issues related to choice of appropriate technology. Solar driven hydrogen production is one of the most suitable forms of energy mining. Amount a number of existing materials which can act as active centers for hydrogen extraction from water, zinc and iron oxides are the cheapest and environmental friendly. These materials were chosen to design the electrodes for study the photocurrent.
