Abstract: The electrode reactions of indium in alkaline solution have been studied by using cyclic voltammetry and XPStechnique.The results show that the In2O3 film can be obtained by means of the anodic oxidation.The preparation methods were optimized in order to form an In2O3 film with high quantum efficiencies for the photoelectrochemical oxygen evolution.The semiconducting properties of the In2O3 anodic film and the thermally oxidized In2O3 anodic film were investigated through Mott-Schottky plots, photocurrent response and spectra, and electroreflectance spectra.The anodic film possesses the two kinds of donor and the indirect fundamental optical transition (Eg=2.88 eV) which becomes direct (Eg=3.68 eV) after thermally oxidation of the film.
