The current status of knowledge regarding the surfaces of the iron oxides, magnetite (Fe 3 O
4), maghemite (γ-Fe 2 O 3), haematite (α-Fe 2 O 3), and wüstite (Fe 1− x O) is reviewed. The …

Water is perhaps the most important and most pervasive chemical on our planet. The
influence of water permeates virtually all areas of biochemical, chemical and physical …

In photoelectrochemical cells, sunlight may be converted into chemical energy by splitting
water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Hematite (α-Fe2O3) is a promising photoanode …

The positions of electronic band edges are one important metric for determining a material's
capability to function in a solar energy conversion device that produces fuels from sunlight …

Metal-oxide-based catalysts are used for many important synthesis reactions in the chemical
industry. A better understanding of the catalyst operation can be achieved by studying …

Hematite (α-Fe2O3), the stable oxide of iron, is a major constituent of soils, rocks and the
earth's crust. It has unique magnetic properties that make it the prototype for the class of …

We have investigated hydroxylation and water adsorption on α-Fe2O3 (0001) at water vapor
pressures up to 2 Torr and temperatures ranging from 277 to 647 K (relative humidity (RH)≤ …

We review the current knowledge of the geometric and electronic structure of oxide surfaces.
In particular, material published during the last five years and going beyond the latest book …

Water dissociation represents one of the most important reactions in catalysis, essential to
the surface and nano sciences [eg, Hass et al., Science, 1998, 282, 265–268; Brown et al …

Hematite (α-Fe2O3) is a widely investigated photocatalyst material for the oxygen evolution
reaction, a key step in photoelectrochemical water splitting. Having a suitable band gap for …
