Characterization of Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis Deposited WO3 Thin Film for Photoelectrochemical Splitting of Water
films were deposited by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis using the precursor obtained by dissolving tungsten acid in hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution in 366 K water bath. The effect on the structure and photoelectrochemical properties of WO

films by varying amount of hydrogen peroxide and concentration of precursor was investigated. It is found that increase in amount of hydrogen peroxide and decrease in concentration of precursor lead to more cracks on the network-like film surface to transform
it into a particle-assembled structure
while the particles in the films deposited with low concentration precursor crystallize to large grains after annealing process. The flat-band potential shifts negatively with both increasing hydrogen peroxide and precursor concentration. The incident photon to current efficiency(IPCE)first increases and then decreases with the increasing hydrogen peroxide and decreasing precursor concentration. The same photocurrent onset wavelength for all the films is observed as 450 nm with the illumination light wavelength scan from long length to short. The photocurrent-voltage feature under high intensity illumination from Xe lamp reveals that photocurrent increases with lower concentration of precursor
while the photocurrent changes little with different amount of hydrogen peroxide.
