Nanostructure-induced colored TiO2 array photoelectrodes with full solar spectrum harvesting

Abstract

Different from regular bandgap narrowing for better sunlight absorption, a series of nanostructure-induced wedge-shaped colored TiO2 array photoelectrodes exhibited full solar spectrum light harvesting and enhanced performances exemplified by photoelectrochemical (PEC) degradation of Ni(II)–EDTA. Finite element method (FEM) simulation confirmed the influence of the nanostructure towards light absorption in UV, visible, and near-infrared (NIR) regions.
