Titanium dioxide-based semiconductors for solar-driven environmentally friendly applications: impact of point defects on performance
Janusz Nowotny,
Energy Environ. Sci., 2008, 1, 565
DOI: 10.1039/b809111k
Awareness is growing that solar energy may be used for the production of environmentally friendly fuel and electricity. Titanium dioxide is the most promising photocatalyst for water photolysis. The present work considers the effect of point defects for TiO2-based oxide semiconductors on its photocatalytic performance.
