The performance of photoelectrochemical cells made of an n‐type TiO2 photoanode and the O2/OH− redox electrolyte system have been studied at different temperatures. It has been found that when only the photoanode compartment is heated, the open‐circuit voltage decreases (∼2.0 mV K−1) and the short‐circuit current increases (∼0.8 mA m−2 K−1); however, the power output shows a small increase and a fall thereafter. The behavior is similar to that of Schottky‐barrier solar cells. When both of the electrode compartments are heated, the power output increases with increasing temperature (∼0.4 mW m−2 K−1) and this can be attributed to the enhancement of the rate of the electrochemical reaction at the counterelectrode.
