Streszczenie:

New semiconducting metal oxides of various compositions are of great interest for efficient solar water oxidation. In this report, Mo-doped SnO2 (Mo:SnO2) thin films deposited by reactive magnetron co-sputtering in the Ar and O2 gas environment are studied. The Sn to Mo ratio in the films can be controlled by changing the O2 partial pressure and the deposition power of the Sn and Mo targets. Increasing the Mo concentration in the film leads to the increase in the oxygen vacancy density, which limits the maximum achievable photocurrent density. The thin films exhibit a direct band gap of 2.7 eV, the maximum achievable photocurrent density of 0.6 mA cm^−2 at 0 VRHE and the onset potential of 0.14 VRHE. The incident photon to current transfer (IPCE) efficiency of 22% is shown at a 450 nm wavelength. The initial performance of the Mo:SnO2 thin films is evaluated for solar water oxidation.
