چکیده
The photoelectrochemical performance of Ag coated CeO2 functionalized TiO2 nanotube arrays (AgCeTNT) is investigated here. sample prepared via three steps, such as synthesis by electrochemical anodization, functionalization hydrothermal and coating Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption Reaction (SILAR) method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed the anatase phase formation after annealing nanotubes. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopic (FESEM) images conformal coverage nanoparticles on surface Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) confirmed presence Ce, Ag, Ti O in AgCeTNT sample. Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) study revealed enhancement visible light sensitivity with further coating. measurement that exhibits improved compared to bare nanotubes (TNT), (CeTNT) (AgTNT) under illumination sunlight. This improvement happeneddue combined effect favorable band alignment Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) nanoparticles, which lead superior charge separation, efficient transport enhanced response.

Although CdS and PbS quantum dot-sensitized TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs/QDs) show photocatalytic activity in the visible-light region, the low internal quantum efficiency and the slow interfacial hole transfer rate limit their applications. This work modified the surface of the TNTAs/QDs photoelectrodes with metal-oxide overlayers by atomic layer deposition (ALD), such as coating Al2O3, TiO2, a...
