The physical properties and photoelectrochemical characterization of the spinel ZnFe2O4, elaborated by chemical route, have been investigated for the hydrogen production under visible light. The forbidden band is found to be 1.92 eV and the transition is indirectly allowed. The electrical...

Photocatalytic H2-production has been observed over FeCr2O4, synthesized from Cr(NO3)3 and Fe(NO3)3. The oxide crystallizes in the normal spinel structure and the transport properties exhibit p-type conductivity ascribed to metal deficiency. An optical gap of 1.33 eV is determined from the...
