Abstract

The preparation and characterization of semiconductive electrodes of MgO doped $Fe_2O_3$ were investigated. Pellets of MgO doped $Fe_2O_3$ were sintered at high temperatures between 1300$^{\circ}$C and 1400$^{\circ}$C and quenched rapidly in distilled water. The surfaces were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning Auger electron spectroscopy. The surfaces of pellets contained both corundum structure ($Fe_2O_3$) and spinel structure ($Mg_xFe_{3-x}O_4$). Electrodes made of this material gave comparable anodic and cathodic photocurrents under illumination. The cathodic and anodic photocurrent on these photoelectrodes were verified high at 5-10 wt. percent that is critical doping amounts.
