Abstract

The quantum efficiency and current vs. potential curves of TiO 2Be photoanodes reported by Stalder and Augustynski have been analyzed according to the Schottky barrier model of the semiconductor-electrolyte interface. The model allows the main physical parameters determining the photoelectrochemical properties of the semiconductor to be determined. According to this data the addition of Be to n-TiO 2 seems to produce a noticeable increase in the minority carrier diffusion length, leading to an improvement of the photoelectrochemical properties of TiO 2.
