Photoelectrochemical water splitting is a promising technique for obtaining hydrogen trough solar energy. In this work we have synthesized Cu2O photocathodes through electrodeposition and passivated them with heat treatment and a thin electrodeposited ZnO layer. Chronoamperometries and linear sweep voltammetries have been performed to analyze their photoelectrochemical performance. The photocathodes have also been characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy, Raman and UV-vis spectroscopy.
