Using polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP ) and ethanol as fiber skeleton and solvent, respectively, Fe2O3/ZnO precursor fibers were prepared by sol-gel method combined with electrospinning technique with zinc acetate [Zn(CH3COO)(2)center dot 2H(2)O] and three iron acetylacetonate(C15H21O6Fe) as raw materials. Fe2O3/ZnO/FTO composite photoelectrodes with different Fe/Zn molar ratios were obtained by calcination. The morphologies and chemical components were characterized by thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and so on. The photoelectrocatalytic performance of the obtained sample was tested by the degradation of methylene blue(MB) solution. The results indicate that the p-n heterojunctions between ZnO and Fe2O3 are beneficial for separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, resulting in Fe2O3/ZnO/FTO with high catalytic activity in comparsion with ZnO/FTO and Fe2O3/FTO. The composite photoelectrodes with different Fe/Zn molar ratios exhibit different photoelectrocatalytic activity. When n(Fe)/n(Zn) is 1: 1, the catalytic activity of Fe2O3/ZnO/FTO is the optimal, the degradation rate of MB is 97% after 140 min.
