The effect of annealing of the n-GaAs semiconductor on its characteristics in photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems has been investigated. The photocurrent densities vs potential plots were improved by annealing. Cell efficiency and short-circuit current densities were enhanced for the annealed n-GaAs.
