GaN based photoelectrode has shown good potential owing to its better chemical stability and tunable bandgap with materials such as InN and AlN. Tunable bandgap allows GaN to make the maximum utilization of solar spectrum, which could improve photoelectrode performance. However, the problems about low photoelectrode performance and photo-corrosion still remain. In this study, we attempt to investigate the photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of phosphor application to InGaN photoelectrode. Experimental result shows YAG:Ce³⁺ and beta-SiALON phosphor result in the highest photoelectrode performance of InGaN.
