Abstract
The preparation and characterization of semiconductive electrodes of MgO doped Fe2O3 were investigated. Pellets of MgO doped Fe2O3 were sintered at high temperatures between 1300℃ and 1400℃ and quenched rapidly in distilled water. The surfaces were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning Auger electron spectroscopy. The surfaces of pellets contained both corundum structure (Fe2O3) and spinel structure (MgxFe3-xO4). Electrodes made of this material gave comparable anodic and cathodic photocurrents under illumination. The cathodic and anodic photocurrent on these photoelectrodes were verified high at 5-10 wt. percent that is critical doping amounts.
