TiO2@CdS core–shell nanorods films: Fabrication and dramatically enhanced photoelectrochemical properties

Photocatalytic decolorization of methylene blue in the presence of TiO2/ZnS nanocomposites

“…4, by plotting the function f KM = (F KM h ) 2 versus h [20]. The estimated Eg value was 3.21 eV for the TiO 2 /ZnS (0.2%) sample.…”

Photoelectrochemical oxidation behavior of methanol on highly ordered TiO2 nanotube array electrodes

“…The band gap edge of TiO 2 is well-known to be k = 385 nm with E g = 3.23 eV for anatase phase and k = 415 nm with E g = 3.0 eV for rutile phase [37,38], respectively. The relationship of the absorption coefficient and the incident photon energy of semiconductor are given by the following equation [39]:…”

On the role of metal particle size and surface coverage for photo-catalytic hydrogen production: A case study of the Au/CdS system

“…CdS/TiO 2 nanotubes where the former is incorporated into the later has been demonstrated to show higher activity as compared to CdS alone [25]. CdS (core)-TiO 2 (shell) structure were also studied and has shown to possess up to seven times higher photo-catalytic activity as compared to CdS [40][41][42]. Graphene regarded as an ideal conductive material for nanoparticles forming hybrid structure with CdS has also shown up to five times enhancement in the photo-catalytic activity [43][44][45].…”
