Nanostructured hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) film deposited on mesoporous titania (TiO2) underlayer was described as a photoanode for photoelectrochemical water splitting. Mesoporous TiO2 layers were prepared by spin coating a paste on conductive fluorine-doped tin oxide glass followed by an annealing process. Hematite film was prepared after electrochemical and annealing processes. The TiO2/Fe2O3 photoanodes achieve photocurrent densities up to 0.5 mA/cm(2) at 1.23 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. This value is greater than that for photocurrent density obtained with pristine hematite photoanode. Impedance measurements showed that prepared heterostructure TiO2/Fe2O3 contributes to diminution of electron-hole recombination process.
