Photo-induced water-splitting on hematite is investigated by first-principles calculations. Our results show that (i) under relevant photoelectrochemicalconditions only O3-Fe-O3-R and O3-R are stable and that (ii) the water-oxidation is only allowed on (HO)3-Fe-H3O3-R, (HO)3-Fe-O3-R, O3-Fe-O3-R from thermodynamic considerations.
