Highly efficient photoelectrochemical performance of SrTiO3/TiO2 heterojunction nanotube array thin film
Source abstract
Abstract
SrTiO3-TiO2 heterojunction thin-film nanotube arrays (SNTs, the average inner diameter is about 50 nm) was fabricated via electrochemical anodization followed by a hydrothermal treatment. The photo-to-current conversion properties and the photo-electrochemical performance for cathodic protection of carbon steel in 0.5 M of sodium chloride solution under white light illumination were investigated. The results showed that the highly ordered nanotube arrays could provide very excellent cathodic protection for carbon steel under white light irradiation.
