Rapid and Controllable Flame Reduction of TiO2 Nanowires for Enhanced Solar Water-Splitting

We report a new flame reduction method to generate controllable amount of oxygen vacancies in TiO2 nanowires that leads to nearly three times improvement in the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting performance. The flame reduction method has unique advantages of a high temperature (>1000 °C...
