steel substrates and annealed at 800 C. Their photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties were
investigated and compared with that of p-type CoAl 2 O 4 films. We found that the
nanocomposite electrodes exhibit much improved PEC photoresponse as compared to the
reference p-type CoAl 2 O 4 electrodes. We speculate that the enhancement is due to the
formation of a three-dimensional junction between p-type CoAl 2 O 4 and n-type Fe 2 O 3 …
