InxGa1−xN performance as a band-gap-tunable photo-electrode in acidic and basic solutions

Performance of InxGa1−xN photo-electrodes at concentrations of In ranging from 0 to 100 % was investigated in basic and acidic solutions under 1 Sun illumination. Photocorrosive effects of InxGa1−xN samples in aqueous solutions are revealed and strategies for a more efficient use of these electrodes...

description Performance of InxGa1−xN photo-electrodes at concentrations of In ranging from 0 to 100 % was investigated in basic and acidic solutions under 1 Sun illumination. Photocorrosive effects of InxGa1−xN samples in aqueous solutions are revealed and strategies for a more efficient use of these electrodes are discussed. Formation of Ga2O3 phase and N2 under photoanodic conditions can explain the photo-corrosive effect. It is shown that the product of charge carrier density and mobility, n×μ, scales with the photo-current density in GaN. [Display omitted] •Photo-corrosion of InGaN under direct water splitting occurs via formation of Ga-oxide.•Hydrogen evolution is possible on Pt counter-electrode for a small up to 0.1 fraction of In.•Solar energy harvesting by changing the bandgap of InGaN controlled by In concentration.
