Advanced Nanoarchitectures with Photocatalytic Functionality

af Chen Ying-Chu

Two novel nanoarchitectures - including the highly branched spikecube exemplified by ß-SnWO4 and the biomimetic nanopeapod manifested in Au@Nb@HxK1-xNbO3 - were put forward for the first time in this dissertation, particularly aiming at enriching the library of pattern designs for sunlight-driven photo(electro)chemical applications. Specifically, ß-SnWO4 spikecubes were entitled on the basis of the peculiar morphology, wherein bundles of nanopillars were self-aligned with quasi-periodicity onto ... (Læs mere)
