Quasi-1D TiO2 Nanostructures Prepared By PLD for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting Applications

The functionality of novel photoanodes based on TiO₂ nanostructured assemblies prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition towards photoelectrochemical water splitting process was investigated. Under UV conditions open vertical oriented morphologies resulted in photocurrent efficiencies up to 8%, thanks to optimized values of total surface area, porosity, crystallinity and electrical transport properties.
