Dataset for "Strategies for Deposition of LaFeO3 Photocathodes: Improving Photocurrent with a Polymer Template"

LaFeO3 (LFO) has been shown to be an active photocathode for solar water splitting on illumination of visible light, but is restricted by low surface area and relatively low photocurrents achieved. The work herein utilizes a variety of different film deposition methods for LFO photocathodes. Doctor blading of LFO powders (LFO-A), milling and exfoliation of LFO powders deposited by spray pyrolysis (LFO-B), deposition of LFO nitrate precursors by spray pyrolysis (LFO-C) and spin coating of LFO nitrates with a polymer template (Triton X-100) (LFO-D). This dataset includes characterisation of these LFO films including, XRD, XPS, photoelectrochemical measurements and electronic impedance spectroscopy measurements. Datasets are also included from those incorporated within the supplementary information.

LaFeO3（LFO）已被证实在可见光照射下作为活性光阴极在太阳能水分解中具有活性，但其性能受到较低的表面积和相对较低的光电流的限制。本研究采用多种不同的薄膜沉积方法制备LFO光阴极。包括LFO粉末的刀片切割（LFO-A）、通过喷雾热解沉积的LFO粉末的研磨和剥离（LFO-B）、通过喷雾热解沉积的LFO硝酸盐前驱体（LFO-C）以及使用聚合物模板（Triton X-100）的LFO硝酸盐的旋涂（LFO-D）。该数据集包括对这些LFO薄膜的表征，包括XRD、XPS、光电化学测量和电子阻抗谱测量。此外，还包括补充信息中包含的数据集。
