Influence of SnWO₄, SnW₃O₉, and WO₃ Phases in Tin Tungstate Films on Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation.

ABSTRACT: An essential step toward enabling the production of renewable and cost-efficient fuels is an improved understanding of the performance of energy conversion materials. In recent years, there has been growing interest in ternary metal oxides. Particularly, α-SnWO₄ exhibited promising properties for application to photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However, the number of corresponding studies remains limited, and a deeper understanding of the physical and chemical processes in α-SnWO₄ is necessary. To date, charge-carrier generation, separation, and transfer have not been exhaustively studied for SnWO₄-based photoelectrodes. All of these processes depend on the phase composition, not only α-SnWO₄ but also on the related phases SnW₃
