An n-type (001) TiO2 electrode irradiated at 365 nm was tested under anodic polarization: a saturation current independent of pH and proportional to light intensity has been observed. Accurate measurements of the incident power lead to a 60% photon efficiency. A photoelectrochemical cell built with such an electrode, operated under solar irradiation without concentration, produced an electrolysis current of 0.7 mA cm−2 without applied voltage.
