Abstract
Hematite nanorod arrays were activated through proper control of annealing conditions. The 100-fold improvement in photocurrent was correlated with increased absorption and Sn doping from the tin oxide
coated glass substrate. The low onset potential is attributed to a reduction in surface defects, while the morphology is credited for promoting tin diffusion and facilitating electron transport.
