The functionality of a photoactive semiconductor (ie, photocatalysts, photoelectrodes, etc.) is
largely dictated by three key aspects:(i) band gap;(ii) absolute potentials of the conduction …

The question of stability against diffusional mixing at the prototypical LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (001)
interface is explored using a multi-faceted experimental and theoretical approach. We …

The valence and conduction bands of am-and γ-Al2O3 films grown by the atomic layer
deposition technique were studied simultaneously in identical experimental conditions using …

Solar water splitting for hydrogen generation can be a potential source of renewable energy
for the future. Here we show that efficient and stable stoichiometric dissociation of water into …

Efficient, inexpensive, and stable electrode materials are key components of commercially
viable electrochemical wastewater treatment system. In this study, blue-black TiO2 nanotube …

This work demonstrates the first molecular-level conversion pathway of NO oxidation over a
novel SrO-clusters@ amorphous carbon nitride (SCO-ACN) photocatalyst, which is …

X-ray photoelectron (XPS) experiments at normal and grazing emission are performed,
demonstrating the labile nature of the anatase TiO2 (101) surface after argon cluster ion …

We report our investigation of the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of HfO2 on the MoS2
surface. In contrast to previous reports of conformal growth on MoS2 flakes, we find that ALD …

Solar water splitting is one of the key steps in artificial photosynthesis for future carbon-
neutral, storable and sustainable source of energy. Here we show that one of the major …

The bulk and surface electronic structure of In 2 O 3 has proved controversial, prompting the
current combined experimental and theoretical investigation. The band gap of single …
