 note = {Hematite (α-Fe2O3) is a potential photoanode candidate for PEC water splitting owing to its inexpensive, high abundance in nature, and suitable band gap (~2.1 eV) under visible light irradiation. However, Fe2O3 still suffers from low PEC efficiency, mainly due to poor electrical conductivity and limited light absorption. This thesis proposes methods for developing hematite photoanodes with improved PEC performance for water splitting. Additional annealing in an argon atmosphere improves the PEC properties by simultaneously increasing donor density and electrical conductivity. Furthermore, 3D macroporous conductive substrates enable higher loading and thinner thickness of the hematite layer, resulting in enhanced PEC efficiency. Additionally, the AEM-PEC system achieves water splitting in pure water without supporting electrolytes, overcoming mass-transport limitations through the synergistic combination of porous photoanodes and solid electrolyte membranes. This low-cost and straightforward device integration of porous hematite photoanodes with AEM exhibits promising potential for advancing sustainable energy production through PEC applications.},
