Opis

The primary focus of this work is to improve the properties of anodically fabricated metal oxide nanotube arrays; notably its band gap and crystallinity while retaining their tubular structure unaffected. Controlling the crystallinity and band gap of the materials, while retaining its tubular structure, results in an enormous enhancement in the photoconversion capability of the material upon use in photo-assisted water splitting and solar cell devices.
