Abstract

In the present study, a graphene-titania composite photoelectrode was synthesized, characterized and examined for the photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) response. The charge transfer process on the semiconductor/electrolyte interface was investigated via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and voltammetry. In addition, the influence of pH toward the photoanode performance was also investigated and it was noticed that a high pH condition was favorable higher photocurrent response from the EIS measurements. The main reason could be attributed to the decrease of recombination process at the photoanode with fast quenching of the photogenerated holes with OH− ions at high pH. The experiment was also run for CO2 photoreduction and increased photocurrent was observed.
