“…For example, the band gap for particles of 6.7 nm in size was measured to be 3.47 eV, which was approximately 0.25 eV larger than that of the BaTiO3 bulk [55]. The authors of [56] have found Eg = 3.6 eV for the Langmuir ferroelectric films of BaTiO3 with ∼20 nm grain size. The optical band gap value may be slightly decreased after 9 h of treatment due to the growth of concentration of defects, which creates states near the bottom of the conduction band.…”

Anodic titania nanotubes (TiO2-NT) are very promising for use in photocatalysis and photovoltaics due to their developed surface, symmetrical structure and conductive properties, which, moreover, makes them a convenient matrix for creating various nanocomposites. Herein we propose a new facile way of synthesizing symmetrical TiO2-NT followed by a modification with barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticles, combining the advantages of electrochemical oxidation and hydrothermal synthesis. The electrophysical and optoelectronic properties of the formed nanocomposites have been studied. An asymmetry of the current–voltage characteristics was revealed. It is shown that during the barium titanate deposition, a symmetry-breaking nanoheterojunction TiO2/BaTiO3 is formed. Using EPR spectroscopy, paramagnetic defects (titanium, barium and oxygen vacancies) in the samples were determined. It was observed for the first time that upon illumination of titania nanotubes modified with BaTiO3, the asymmetrical separation of photoexcited charge carriers (electrons and holes) between TiO2-NT and BaTiO3 occurs, followed by the capture of electrons and holes by defects. As a result, the photoinduced charge accumulates on the defects.
