Abstract:Multifunctional materials working under solely visible-light are expected to play a significant role in photo-electronics, in particular photo-switches, photo-optical sensors, smart windows, displays, optical storage memories, and self-cleaning materials.<div>In this work, we have modified the surface of a versatile semiconductor material (TiO<sub>2</sub>) with a noble metal (copper), and simultaneously doped its lattice with a rare-earth element (neodymium). Exploiting the ability of a semic… Show more
“…On the other hand, copper oxides have been already reported for PEC sensing of some biomolecules under visible-light irradiation [17,18]. It is also well-known that CuO contributes as visible-light absorber in CuO-TiO2 photocatalytic systems [19,20].…”
