Dataset for "Efficient hematite photoanodes prepared by hydrochloric acid-treated solutions with amphiphilic graft copolymer"

A simple a low cost methodology is shown for preparation of iron oxide as coatings on electrodes for use in generation of electrical current by illumination and splitting of water with generation of hydrogen for application in development of low cost and abundant H2 fuels.

Porous frameworks of iron oxide (Fe2O3) were prepared by templating with a hydrophobic-hydrophilic graft co-polymer which showed high generated photocurrents under sunlight equivalent illumination. This dataset contains the TEM (transmission electron microscopy) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) images and raw infrared data.

Coverage

Collection date(s):

From August 2017 to January 2018

Documentation

Data collection method:

Photocurrent Densities were calculated from generated potential under illumination (at 1 sun equivalent) measured with an Ivium potentiostat and using Ivium Technologies IviumSoft software Release 2.031. Further methodological details may be found in the Experimental Section of the associated manuscript.

Technical details and requirements:

Data was collected using the PhotoElectroChemical apparatus located in a research laboratory of Dr Salvador Eslava located in Dept of Chemical Engineering, University of Bath. Electron microscopy was conducted at the Microscopy and Analysis Suite, University of Bath. An Ivium Compactstat pontentiostat with associated illumination apparatus and quartz sample cell were employed for photocurrent measurements.
