High performance carbon/silica co-decorated TiO{sub 2} nanotubes for visible-light driven water splitting

Graphical abstract: Using amino-propyl-triethoxy silane (KH570) as silane couplers, a novel carbon/silica dots co-decorated TiO{sub 2} nanotube (CS@TNT) is prepared through silane modification and thermal calcination approach. The CS@TNT retains its tubular morphology at as high as 500 °C, and prese...
