Plasmonic and non-plasmonic contributions on photocatalytic activity of Au-TiO2 thin film under mixed UV–visible light

Recent Advances in Plasmonic Photocatalysis Based on TiO2 and Noble Metal Nanoparticles for Energy Conversion, Environmental Remediation, and Organic Synthesis

“…In the subsequent sections, we will highlight the main strategies for preparing these nanomaterials. These include chemical and thermal reduction, [76][77][78] sputtering, [79] ion-exchange, [80] deposition-precipitation (DP), [81] and photodeposition. [82] These strategies have been employed to generated TiO 2 NPs decorated with Au, [83][84][85][86] Ag, [87][88][89] Pd, [90,91] Ni, [92] Cu, [93][94][95] Ru, [96] and Al [97,98] NPs, for example.…”

“…The sputtered atoms are easily deposited on substrates under vacuum conditions as they are in the gas phase and are not in an equilibrium state. Aktas et al [79] fabricated TiO 2 thin film of thickness 300 nm over quarts substrate using DC reactive magnetron sputtering method. A photodeposition (PD) technique was used to decorate the Au NPs over TiO 2 thin film.…”

Early osteoblastic activity on TiO2 thin films decorated with flower-like hierarchical Au structures

“…1. 18,24,25 The starting materials, gold(III) chloride (AuCl 3 ) was purchased from Alfa Aesar. The TiO 2 thin lms were dipped into a quartz cuvette, lled with 6.5 ml of an aqueous AuCl 3 (0.8 Â 10 À3 M).…”

Laser-Induced Chemical Liquid-Phase Deposition Plasmonic Gold Nanoparticles on Porous TiO2 Film with Great Photoelectrochemical Performance

“…As an example, we can cite the production of granular gold films by magnetron [17] and thermal [18] sputtering methods. The chemical approach to the deposition of gold nanoparticles is also diverse; standard methods of wet chemistry [19] and methods of photochemistry [20] have both been proposed. In our opinion, one of the most promising methods related to photochemistry is the method of laser-induced chemical liquid-phase deposition (LCLD) of metals from solution on the surface [21,22].…”
