Nanostructured titanium dioxide (TiO2) presents considerable potential as a photoanode in low cost, sustainable photoelectrochemical systems for solar water splitting. The wide band gap combined with the presence of trap states and reduced oxidation kinetics limit, however, photocurrent performance to only ∼1 mA cm–2. Increasing disorder crystal structure at surface, on other hand, has been proven increase light absorption via narrowing, conversion efficiency. In this work, anodized TiO2...

Inspired by the patchwork of artificial turf, where planting in a smaller area can result more uniform lawn that grows one direction, here, we defined growth position and orientation CuCo2S4 nanoarray for first time electroplating PANI mesh layer onto Ni foam to obtain self-supporting hierarchical electrode material. The nitrogen species derived from building blocks act as bridging sites bind with metal ions, which provides strong coupling effect situ CuCo2S4. At same time, structure divides...

A facile one pot method has been applied to fabricate large-sized freestanding titania-silica monolithic aerogels (TSMA). The obtained TSMA was characterized by scanning electron micrograph (SEM), Energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen adsorption measurements. SEM results show the bicontinuous inner structure large macropores (through-pores), which are favorable for liquid infiltration. XRD demonstrate is anatase reveal its high specific surface...
