Unveiling the multiple effects of MOF-derived TiO2 on Ti-Fe2O3 photoanodes for efficient and stable photoelectrochemical water oxidation
α-Fe2O3 is a promising photoanode that is limited by its high surface charge recombination and slow water oxidation kinetics. In this study, we synthesized a TiO2 layer on Ti-Fe2O3 by annealing Ti-MOFs, followed by ZIF-67 as a co-catalyst, to fabricate a ZIF-67/TiO2/Ti-Fe2O3 photoanode for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. The systematic experimental and theoretical results revealed that the improvement in performance was due to multiple effects of the MOF-derived TiO2. This molecule not only passivates the acceptor surface states of Ti-Fe2O3, thereby reducing the number of surface recombination centers, but also acts as an electron barrier to promote charge separation in the Ti-Fe2O3 bulk. Moreover, MOF-derived TiO2 can dramatically reduce the energy barrier for the OER of Ti-Fe2O3, thus promoting the conversion of the intermediate *OH into *O. The synergistic improvement in the bulk and surface properties effectively enhanced the water oxidation performance of Ti-Fe2O3. The ZIF-67/TiO2/Ti-Fe2O3 photoanode exhibits a photocurrent density of up to 4.04 mA cm−2 at 1.23 V vs. RHE, which is 9.4 times as that of pure Ti-Fe2O3, and has long-term stability. Our work provides a feasible strategy for constructing efficient organic-inorganic hybrid photoelectrodes.
