Nb, Ta and Hf-The tri-dopant tournament for the enhancement of TiO2 photochromism

Reinis Ignatans

TiO2 quantum dot (QD) size nanoparticle colloids have shown tremendous photochromic response. Here we show that the of the photochromic response of TiO2 QDs can be further enhanced by doping. Our synthesis approach allows to reach high nominal doping level ...

Femtosecond Spectroscopy of Au Hot-Electron Injection into TiO2: Evidence for Au/TiO(2 )Plasmon Photocatalysis by Bactericidal Au Ions and Related Phenomena

Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

In the present work, we provide evidence for visible light irradiation of the Au/TiO2 nanoparticles' surface plasmon resonance band (SPR) leading to electron injection from the Au nanoparticles to the conduction band of TiO2. The Au/TiO2 SPR band is shown ...
