The photocurrent density of CTCF photoanode is 1.85 m A cm-2 at ＋1.23 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode（RHE）, which is more than 20 times higher than that of pristine α-Fe2O3 photoanode（0.08 m A cm-2）. The incident-photo-to-current conversion efficiency, applied bias photo-to-current efficiency and transfer efficiency of CTCF photoanode reaches 31.2% at 380 nm（＋1.23 V vs. RHE）,0.11%（＋1.11 V vs. RHE）, 68.2%（＋1.23 V vs. RHE） respectively, which are much higher than those of pristine α-Fe2O3 photoanode. Additionally, the longtime irradiation PEC water splitting of CTCF photoanode demonstrates its high stability at extreme voltage in NaOH（pH 14）.展开更多
