Abstract:The photocatalysis is a promising strategy for the water purification. In this work, Cerium dioxide Nano-particles (CeO2-NPs) were deposited by chemical electroless deposition on silicon nanowires (Si-NWs) elaborated by metal-assisted chemical etching. The obtained thin films were characterized by the combined SEM / EDX analysis. The cubic CeO2 phase was identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and characterized by photoluminescence (PL) while the chemical states of elements were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron s… Show more
