Abstract

The photoelectrochemical behavior of n-type GaAs(100) electrodes coated with a single layer of graphene was compared with the behavior of bare, freshly etched n-type GaAs(100) electrodes, both for electrodes in contact with an aqueous solution containing K3[Fe(CN)6]/K4[Fe(CN)6] and for electrodes in contact with nonaqueous solutions containing a series of one-electron redox couples selected such that the Nernstian solution potentials spanned a range greater than 1 V. Under simulated 1 Sun illumination, the graphene-coated electrodes produced a short-circuit photocurrent density of 20 mA cm
