“…The photoelectrochemical properties of TiO 2 NTA photoanodes were characterized using a three‐electrode system bulk reactor with a quartz window for UV illumination . TiO 2 NTAs were employed as working electrode (with a circular area of 0.785 cm 2 exposed to solution and UV light), a platinum foil and a saturated Ag/AgCl as counter electrode and reference electrode, respectively.…”

“…The prepared ZnO thin films showed a large area, smooth surface, and no obvious fluctuation, and are available for fabricating application devices. Zhou et al [115] grew a BaTiO 3 film on fluorine-doped tin oxide-coated patterned silicon wafers using a two-step hydrothermal method. The prepared thin films showed a larger surface area than that of conventionally deposited piezoelectric films, obtaining a higher storage density of electronic devices.…”

With the continuous development and progress of materials science, increasingly more attention has been paid to the new technology of powder synthesis and material preparation. The hydrothermal method is a promising liquid phase preparation technology that has developed rapidly during recent years. It is widely used in many fields, such as the piezoelectric, ferroelectric, ceramic powder, and oxide film fields. The hydrothermal method has resulted in many new methods during the long-term research process, such as adding other force fields to the hydrothermal condition reaction system. These force fields mainly include direct current, electric, magnetic (autoclaves composed of non-ferroelectric materials), and microwave fields. Among them, the microwave hydrothermal method, as an extension of the hydrothermal reaction, cleverly uses the microwave temperature to compensate for the lack of temperature in the hydrothermal method, allowing better practical application. This paper reviews the development of the hydrothermal and microwave hydrothermal methods, introduces their reaction mechanisms, and focuses on the practical application of the two methods.

“…Properties such as light harvesting, mass transfer and cell structure can be enhanced through cell design. Light absorption must be considered in the design of PEC cells as the efficiency of photocatalytic reactions is determined by light energy utilization [53][54][55] . According to Beer's Law, light energy is consumed in aqueous electrolyte (Eqn.18).…”

Photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) incorporates electrochemical techniques with photocatalysis (PC) to facilitate the separation of the photoelectron-hole produced at semiconductor nanoparticles, leading to enhanced photocatalytic efficiency for various applications. Due to its inherently low cost, non-toxicity and chemical stability, titanium dioxide (TiO2) based PEC devices are considered the most promising system for chemical engineering such as pollution degradation and fuel generation, and PEC sensing. In an attempt to bridge fundamental research and practical applications in chemical engineering and sensing, we herein systematically review recent advances in these PEC systems of different scales. More importantly, we offer a series of rational strategies including cell design, application of electric field photoelectrode morphology manipulation and bandgap engineering to enhance the performance of TiO2-based PEC devices and accelerate the commercialization of the TiO2-based PEC technology in chemical engineering.
