Abstract

TiO₂ photoelectrodes are made using the "dip-coating" technique with colloidal suspensions of TiO₂ nanopowders. Two different commercial TiO₂ powders are selected with nanocrystals having different porosity and somewhat different crystal structure. Photoelectrodes are characterized using a practical two-electrode photoelectrochemical cell arrangement. Differences in open-circuit photovoltage and short-circuit photocurrent are reported and explained based on initial powder characteristics. Differences in time response found are also explained.
