Abstract

Fluorine-containing bismuth vanadate (F:BiVO₄) powder was synthesized using a new, clean, and simple solid-vapor reaction. Incorporation of fluorine mainly leads to the formation of cation vacancies. Electrodes were fabricated from the pre-synthesized powder samples by electrophoretic deposition onto fluorine-doped tin oxide coated glass slides and subsequent calcination. The photoelectrochemical performance concerning the water oxidation reaction was investigated and compared to pristine BiVO₄ revealing strongly enhanced photoelectrochemical behavior for the F-containing BiVO₄.
