      Generation of hydrogen using photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting has attracted researchers for the last two decades. Several materials have been utilized as a photoanode in a water splitting cell, including ZnO due to its abundance, low production cost and suitable electronic structure. Most research attempts focused on doping ZnO to tailor its properties for a specific application. In this ...
    • Relating Photoelectrochemistry and Wettability of Sputtered Cu- and N-Doped TiO<sub>2</sub> Thin Films via an Integrated Approach 

      Garlisi, Corrado; Lai, Chia-Yun; George, Leslie; Chiesa, Matteo; Palmisano, Giovanni (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-06)
      We present here an integrated study of the photoelectrochemical and hydrophilic properties of sputtered TiO<sub>2</sub> thin films, enhanced by means of nitrogen (N) and copper (Cu) doping. We investigated the effect that doping has on both photoelectrochemical efficiency and surface properties by employing a variety of techniques spanning from impedance electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to ...
