Preparation and Photoelectrolytic Behavior of the Systems WO(3-x) and WO(3-x)Fx.

Abstract

A convenient method of preparing compounds in the system WO(3-x)Fx is described and the photoelectrolytic behavior of WO(3-x) and WO(3-x)Fx anodes has been investigated. It was found that the substitution of small amounts of fluorine for oxygen in WO3 does not affect adversely its photoelectrolytic behavior. Moreover, substituted fluorine increases the stability of electrodes of WO 3 when used for the photoelectrolysis of water. (Author)
