Abstract

AbstractThe photoelectrochemical properties of LaFeO3 nanoparticles are discussed for the first time. Highly phase‐pure LaFeO3 particles prepared by a novel ionic‐liquid‐based method are characterized by a (60±14) nm mean size and a band gap of (2.56±0.07) eV. Thin films deposited by screen printing exhibit photocurrent responses associated with hydrogen generation at potential up to 1 V more positive than the formal hydrogen potential. Analysis of the photocurrent responses as a function of photon flux and potential bias suggest that the hole‐collection efficiency at the back contact is in competition with interfacial water oxidation.
