Paper Abstract
Ceramic semiconductor photoelectrodes made of the Fe2O3-Nb2O5 solid solutions were synthesized. The spectral and
capacitance-voltage characteristics of the photoelectrodes were determined, and the dynamic polarization with chopped
light was investigated. The anodic photocurrent onset potential, the flat band potential and the shallow and deep donor
density of these materials were determined. The threshold photon energies corresponding to the inter-band optical
transitions near the edge of the fundamental absorption of the semiconductor photoelectrode were calculated. Analysis
of the frequency dispersion of the real and imaginary parts of the complex impedance of photoelectrochemical cell was
carried out. On the basis of this analysis, equivalent circuits describing the structure of the double electrical layer of the
semiconductor - electrolyte interface were proposed and their parameters were calculated. The main limiting steps of the
electrode processes, which determine the electrode polarization and current, are determined.
