The photoelectrochemical behaviour of n-InSe single crystals in aqueous solutions has been studied in the presence and absence of several redox systems. Among them, Ce3+/4+ and KI/I2 yielded the highest photocurrents, photovoltages and show the highest stability. The semiconductor energy gap Eg = 1.2 eV, has been calculated from transmittance measurements. The flat band potential UFB = -0.40 V vs NHE and the donor density have been calculated from differential capacity measurements.

Modification of several semiconductors material surfaces with H4SiW12O40•nH2O have been carried out to produce an increase in the open circuit photopotential at the semiconductor/electrolyte interface (Voc) without changing the flat-band potential. The augmentation of Voc is shown to be attributed to a decrease of the minority carriers recombination at the semiconductor/electrolyte interface along with the suppression of Fermi level pinning. The enhancement of Voc and the electrocatalytic activity of the hydrogen evolution reaction in acidic medium of the derivatized electrodes is attributed to the Fermi level unpinning. Keywords: photoelectrodes, photoelectrocatalysis, pinning, modification improvement.

A FeCoW multimetal oxide-coated W:BiVO4 photoanode performs a 3.8 times photocurrent and a negative shift of the flat-band potential by 280 mV in comparison to a W:BiVO4 photoanode.
