Abstract
It was possible to prepare a hematite film by electrochemical deposition of iron oxide in aqueous solution and its heat treatment at 500 C or higher temperature in air. The deposition process of iron oxide film from current and potential pulse methods was mentioned in relation to the equilibrium potential for iron oxide. The hematite in aqueous solution showed a clear photoanodic current due to visible light irradiation. The photo-oxidation response of hematite electrode to organic and inorganic materials in aqueous solution was summarized through the examples of citric acid, Pb and aniline.
