Thickness Dependent on Photocatalytic Activity of Hematite Thin Films by Yen-Hua Chen, Kuo-Jui Tu

“…This is because the hematite film with a thicker thickness has a rougher surface, providing more reaction sites for photocatalysis. Another reason is a lower band gap of a hematite film would generate more electron-hole pairs under visible-light illumination to enhance photocatalytic efficiency. …”

Atomic Layer Deposition of TiO2 Nanocoatings on ZnO Nanowires for Improved Photocatalytic Stability by Emmeline Kao, Hyun Sung Park, Xining Zang, Liwei Lin

“…By using a TiO2 nanocoating on the high surface area-ZnO array, three advancements have been accomplished in this work: (1) high aspect ratio nanowires with TiO2 for water splitting (over 8 μm), (2) improved stability over bare ZnO nanowires during photocatalysis, and (3) excellent onset voltage. As such, this process opens up new class of the micro/nanofabrication process for making efficient photocatalytic gas harvesting systems.…”
