We analyze the effects of microwave applied in the process of photoelectrochemical deposition of cobalt-based cocatalysts, Co-Pi, onto well orientated flat alpha-Fe2O3 thin films, which were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition. AS compared with conventional heating, microwave significantly affects the morphology, chemical composition, and photocatalytic activity of Co-Pi/alpha=Fe2O3 composite. A significant enhancement in photocurrent related to photocatalytic water oxidation is achieved by the Co Pi catalyst prepared under microwave irradiation. This, along with its interfacial electron-tansfer properties, Is studied by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
