Abstract

Abstract The use of buffered neutral liquid ammonia medium for the first time provided evidence for a current doubling effect on p-InP during oxygen photoreduction. Unlike results in aqueous medium, a common mechanism of O2 reduction was observed at p-InP and p-GaAs electrodes. When protons were added to the solution, two different oxygen reduction mechanisms occurred at these electrodes. This study emphasizes the important results of the hydrogenated p-InP surface and revealed that liquid ammonia (at 223 K) was perfectly appropriate to understand the mechanism of O2 reduction at InP electrodes.
