- Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is one of the important multifunctional materials used for photocatalytic, photoelectrochemical, battery, and gas sensor applications.
- The low energy-conversion efficiency in photoacoustic generation is the most critical hurdle preventing its wide applications.
- Nowadays the processes underlying the photoacoustic signals (PA) are very well understood.
- The conversion of light energy into mechanical energy for directed photoactuation is a goal that has been pursued for decades.
- As one of the most promising photoanode materials, the performance of hematite has been greatly hampered by poor conductivity and severe charge recombination.
- Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) is a promising photoanode for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation process.
- Unfavorable interfacial electron back-injection, sluggish surface kinetics, and poor bulk conductivity leading to remarkable recombination are the key issues which significantly hinder the solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of PEC photoanodes.
- Nanostructural morphology and cation (divalent or tetravalent) doping are known to be important factors for photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activities of iron oxides.
- The synthesis of photocatalysts with high charge separation and transfer efficiency are of immense significance in the process of using photocatalysis technology for wastewater treatment.
