摘要：

Hematite nanorod arrays are activated by proper control of annealing conditions. The 100-fold improvement in photocurrent is correlated to increased absorption and tin doping from the tin oxide-coated glass substrate. The low onset potential is attributed to a reduction in surface defects, while the morphology promotes tin diffusion and facilitates electron transport. © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
