ABSTRACT

Application of semiconductor particles has been noticed to solve energy problems as photocatalysis for O₂ evolution in water splitting etc. We are trying fabrication of semiconductor electrode by n-WO₃ particle toward O₂ evolution in water splitting. The electrode obtained high photooxidation properties of water as preventing effective recombination between electrons and holes by utilizing fine semiconductor particles. Particularly, application of suspension prepared by ball milling was able to obtain fine n-WO₃ thin film and the remarked semiconductor properties.
