Enhanced photoelectrochemical properties of nanocrystalline TiO2 electrode by surface sensitization with CuxO quantum dots

Abstract Nanoporous anatase TiO2 films were fabricated by a screen-printing method, and CuxO quantum dots (QDs) were deposited on the TiO2 films through successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). The amount of CuxO QDs on the TiO2 films are controlled by changing the number of SILAR cyc...
