Ligand-free fabrication of Au/TiO2 nanostructures for plasmonic hot-electron-driven photocatalysis: Photoelectrochemical water splitting and organic-dye degredation

Herein, an alternative/cost-effective simple synthesis route was accurately designed to fabricate ligand-free Au/TiO2 Schottky contacts. This time-saving technique provided one-step binding of pre-synthesized NaBH4 stabilized colloidal Au NPs thanks to oxygen vacancies on the rutile phase. The stron...
