New aspects of heterogeneous photocatalysts for water decomposition

Development of Photocatalyst Materials for Water Splitting with the Aim at Photon Energy Conversion.

A photocatalyst which has extensively been studied so far is TiO2 with a 3.0-3.2eV band gap. Well-known photocatalysts with visible-light response are only Pt/CdS and WO3. Thus,...
