ABSTRACTWe demonstrate that charge-transport in partially-ordered thin films of poly(3- hexylthiophene) is strongly dependent on the charge-carrier density in the film, which we relate to the localized nature of the charge carriers. We base our conclusions on measurements in which the charge-carrier density is varied by electrostatic means (in a transistor geometry) and by in- situ thermal removal of oxygen dopants. For the doping levels investigated, we argue that the removal of oxygen does not induce structural changes in the conjugated polymer, and that it only shifts the Fermi-level of the film.

Hematite is currently considered one of the most promising photoanode materials for light-driven water splitting. The photoelectrochemical performance of hematite is limited by its low conductivity. In this work, we demonstrate that the conductivity of hematite films can be tuned by controlling the orientation of hematite crystals. By applying a high magnetic field (up to 10 T) during the drop-casting preparation, hematite films composed of single crystal particles show featured texture by promoting those particles alignment with (001) normal to the substrate. By enhancing the photocurrent densities with tuned hematite orientation, the current method provides an effective way for increasing the number of carriers that can reach the surface.

Photoanodes containing a WO3/BiVO4 heterojunction have demonstrated promising photoelectrochemical water splitting performance, but the ability to effectively passivate the WO3/BiVO4 interface has limited charge transport and collection. Here, the WO3/BiVO4...
