Photocatalytic degradation characteristics of different organic compounds at TiO2 nanoporous film electrodes with mixed anatase/ rutile phases.

Abstract: Nanoporous TiO2 film electrodes with a mixed anatase/rutile phase were prepared by dip-coating TiO2 nanoparticle colloid onto Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) conducting glass substrates and a subsequent calcination process at 700 °C for 16 h. The photocatalytic oxidation of a wide range of organic compounds has been studied using the photoelectrochemical method under the conditions that the photohole capturing step controls the overall photocatalytic processes. The characteristics of the mixed anatase/rutile phase TiO2 film electrodes were compared with pure anatase phase TiO2 film electrodes to identify the key differences between them. The results revealed that different organic compounds, despite their difference in chemical entities, can be stoichiometrically mineralized at the mixed-phase TiO2 electrode under diffusion-controlled conditions, which is in great contrast to the situation at the pure anatase phase TiO2 electrode. The exceptional ability of the mixed-phase TiO2 electrodes for mineralization of org...

Bottom-up growth of fully transparent contact layers of indium tin oxide nanowires for light-emitting devices.

Abstract: Thin layers of indium tin oxide are widely used as transparent coatings and electrodes in solar energy cells, flat-panel displays, antireflection coatings, radiation protection and lithium-ion battery materials, because they have the characteristics of low resistivity, strong absorption at ultraviolet wavelengths, high transmission in the visible, high reflectivity in the far-infrared and strong attenuation in the microwave region. However, there is often a trade-off between electrical conductivity and transparency at visible wavelengths for indium tin oxide and other transparent conducting oxides. Here, we report the growth of layers of indium tin oxide nanowires that show optimum electronic and photonic properties and demonstrate their use as fully transparent top contacts in the visible to near-infrared region for light-emitting devices.
