abstract = {The beneficial effects of Sn(IV) as a dopant in ultrathin
hematite (α‐Fe2O3) photoanodes for water oxidation are
examined. Different Sn concentration profiles are prepared
by alternating atomic layer deposition of Fe2O3 and SnO x .
Combined data from spectrophotometry and
intensity‐modulated photocurrent spectroscopy yields the
individual process efficiencies for light harvesting, charge
separation, and charge transfer. The best performing
photoanodes are Sn‐doped both on the surface and in the
subsurface region and benefit from enhanced charge
separation and transfer. Sn‐doping throughout the bulk of
the hematite photoanode causes segregation at the grain
boundaries and hence a lower overall efficiency. Fe2O3
(0001) and terminations, shown to be dominant by
microstructural analysis, are investigated by density
functional theory (DFT) calculations. The energetics of
surface intermediates during the oxygen evolution reaction
(OER) reveal that while Sn‐doping decreases the
overpotential on the (0001) surface, the Fe2O3 orientation
shows one of the lowest overpotentials reported for hematite
so far. Electronic structure calculations demonstrate that
Sn‐doping on the surface also enhances the charge transfer
efficiency by elimination of surface hole trap states
(passivation) and that subsurface Sn‐doping introduces a
gradient of the band edges that reinforces the band bending
at the semiconductor/electrolyte interface and thus boosts
charge separation.},
