Abstract

Photoelectrochemical water splitting is a promising technology for H2 generation via water splitting reaction using the semiconductor material. In this research, the ZnFe2O4/Cu2O nanorod was investigated. The products were synthesized by the electrochemical deposition method. The characteristics of materials were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy. All materials exhibited the ptype photoelectrode characteristic. The performance of photoelectrochemical electrodes was studied by linear swept voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Mott-Schottky analysis. The best condition deposition was by applying -0.4 V and 10 min. The highest photocurrent density was 0.8 mA.cm-2 at -0.5 (vs. Ag/AgCl) bias voltage.
