| Abstract | A thin, compact TiO2 underlayer for hematite-based photoelectrochemical cells was prepared by simple spin coating and showed a dramatic increase in device performance and photocurrent density. The introduction of TiO2 underlayers induced a noticeable change in the nanostructure. In contrast to the conventional strategies based on underlayers, the compact TiO2 underlayers can act as both a charge recombination barrier and also as a source for titanium dopants. One could simply take advantage of fortuitous doping of Sn from FTO into hematite lattice during the activation step, and is converted into intentional doping of Ti4+ from the TiO2 underlayer into the hematite lattice. Ti4+ doping in hematite lattice is highly probable during the sintering of FTO/TiO2/α-Fe2O3 photoanodes at 800 °C, which has been confirmed by XPS measurements. Based on electrochemical studies, it is evident that the TiO2 underlayer effectively suppresses charge recombination at the FTO/α-Fe2O3 interface and provides possible Ti4+ doping apart from Sn diffusion from FTO substrates when sintered at high temperature (800 °C). In contrast, only charge recombination was suppressed at lower sintering temperature (550 °C). This is the first report on the elemental doping of Ti4+ from the TiO2 underlayer when sintered at high temperature. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
