PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN GAS VIA PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL (PEC) METHOD FROM Fe2O3:Zn AND Fe2O3:W STRUCTURES GROWN ON AN AZO (ZnO:Al) BASE

Abstract

This invention relates to hydrogen (H2), which has the potential to meet future requirements as a clean, non-fossil fuel if it can be produced using our primary energy source, the sun, and safely stored and transported. It focuses on hydrogen production and increasing hydrogen production efficiency by using photoelectrochemical (PEC) methods, a method of converting solar energy into chemically stored energy in the form of hydrogen in an environmentally friendly way, by doping an iron oxide structure with zinc and tungsten metals and growing it as a layered double-layer composite structure using the sputter method to maximize absorption efficiency.
