Effects of the surface treatments of p-GaP electrodes with various etchants on the photoelectroreduction of CO2were investigated in 0.1 mol dm−3KHCO3aqueous solution. The catalytic activities for CO2photoelectroreduction of p-GaP electrodes depended on the etchants and also their crystallographic orientations, (100) or (111) faces. The reduction products were only HCOO−and CO from CO2, and H2as a by-product. Aqua regia was prefer to produce HCOO−on both faces. Conc. HCl was effective for HCOO−formation on the (111) face. Although the alkaline potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) solution was effective for reducing the overpotential and increase the photocurrent, the main product was H2. Conc. HNO3was not effective. |
