abstract = {A large body of literature reports that both bismuth
vanadate and haematite photoanodes are semiconductors with
an extremely high doping density between $10^18-10^21$ cm-3.
Such values are obtained from Mott-Schottky plots by
assuming that the measured capacitance is dominated by the
capacitance of the depletion layer formed by the doping
density within the photoanode. In this work, we show that
such an assumption is erroneous in many cases because the
injection of electrons from the collecting contact creates a
ubiquitous capacitance step that is very difficult to
distinguish from that of the depletion layer. Based on this
reasoning, we derive an analytical resolution limit that is
independent of the assumed active area and surface roughness
of the photoanode, below which doping densities cannot be
measured in a capacitance measurement. We find that the
reported doping densities in literature lie very close to
this value and therefore conclude that there is no credible
evidence from capacitance measurements that confirms that
bismuth vanadate and haematite photoanodes contain high
doping densities.},
