TiO₂ nanocrystals were synthesized using a sol-gel method, and then the impregnation technique was used to modify the surface of the TiO₂ nanocrystals with FeO(OH). The optimal concentration of Fe³⁺ for the modification of the TiO₂ nanocrystals was determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy. A cobalt-phosphate (CoPi) water oxidation catalyst was electrochemically deposited onto the FeO(OH)- TiO₂ photoanodes. The resulting FeO(OH)-TiO₂/CoPi composite photoanodes were systematically characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the photoelectrochemical water oxidation properties of the FeO(OH)-TiO₂/CoPi composite photoanodes were investigated in neutral conditions by electrochemical and photoelectrochemical methods. The results indicated that the TiO₂ particles were pure anatase nanocrystals, and the FeO(OH) phase on the TiO₂ surfaces was ethite. The optimal light absorption properties of the FeO(OH)-TiO₂ photoanodes were achieved when the photoanodes were prepared in the precursor solution with a Fe³⁺:TiO₂ mass ratio of 0.05%. The overpotential for oxygen evolution on the FeO(OH)-TiO₂/CoPi composite photoanodes under illumination decreased significantly compared with that obtained on the CoPi catalyst. The high oxygen evolution activity of the composite photoanodes can be attributed to modification of FeO(OH) on TiO₂ nanocrystal surfaces changing the light absorption band from the ultraviolet to the visible region and CoPi inhibited hole-electron recombination through facilitating the photon-induced hole transfer for water oxidation.
