Abstract:One of the bottlenecks in photocatalysis is to obtain reasonably cheap co-catalysts beneficially contributing to efficient photophysical and photochemical processess. Herein, we prepare a co-catalyst system consisting of Ni species embedded in anatase TiO2. We focus on clarifying its role in regulating electron behavior, and hence, photocatalytic activity. Based on the transmission electron microscopy, X-ray absorption near-edge structure, and X-ray absorption fine structure, the surface-loaded Ni species are … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
