Influence of Temperature Reaction for the CdSe-TiO Nanotube Thin Film Formation via Chemical Bath Deposition in Improving the Photoelectrochemical Activity.

In this present work, we report the deposition of cadmium selenide (CdSe) particles on titanium dioxide (TiO) nanotube thin films, using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method at low deposition temperatures ranging from 20 to 60 °C. The deposition temperature had an influence on the overall CdSe-TiO nanotube thin film morphologies, chemical composition, phase transition, and optical properties, which, in turn, influenced the photoelectrochemical performance of the samples that were investigated. All samples showed the presence of CdSe particles in the TiO nanotube thin film lattice structures with the cubic phase CdSe compound.

Efficient Solar-Induced Photoelectrochemical Response Using Coupling Semiconductor TiO₂-ZnO Nanorod Film.

Efficient solar driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) response by enhancing charge separation has attracted great interest in the hydrogen generation application. The formation of one-dimensional ZnO nanorod structure without bundling is essential for high efficiency in PEC response. In this present research work, ZnO nanorod with an average 500 nm in length and average diameter of about 75 nm was successfully formed via electrodeposition method in 0.
