Funded Activity Summary

TITANIA-BASED MATERIALS WITH ENHANCED PHOTO-SENSITIVITY FOR SOLAR-HYDROGEN. Aims: Enhancement of the photo-sensitivity of titania photo-electrodes will be achieved through the effect of aliovalent ions in the titania lattice, leading to, at a high density of states, the imposition of mid-gap bands. This will result in the reduction of the effective band gap required for ionisation. Significance: The practical application of titania for the photolysis of water using solar energy at efficiencies sufficiently high for commercialisation (greater than 10%). Innovation: Examination for the first time of the impact of the electronic structure on the photo-sensitivity of oxide materials, including titania single crystals and polycrystals.
