Halide ion photooxidation was studied at photoanodes of n-type silicon with a protective film of ruthenium and titanium oxide applied by various methods. Polarization curves were recorded with a potentiostat, the capacitance curves were recorded and the electrode was polarized with a primary battery. All electrodes produced were photosensitive. The film was shown to protect the silicon against photocorrosion. The photoelectric properties of the silicon-film-solution system can be described by a Schottky diode model. A more or less pronounced pinning of the Fermi level was observed at the silicon/film interface.
