研究目的
To develop a simple and efficient method for synthesizing hydrogenated TiO2 (H-TiO2) using an atmospheric-pressure plasma jet submerged in a titanium precursor solution, aiming to improve visible light absorption and electrical conductivity for environmental and optoelectronic applications.
研究成果
The submerged atmospheric-pressure plasma jet method successfully synthesized H-TiO2 with improved visible light absorption and electrical conductivity, attributed to decreased work function and narrowed band gap. This method offers advantages in terms of simplicity, rapid synthesis, and potential for mass production, making it promising for environmental and optoelectronic applications.
研究不足
The study does not address the long-term stability of H-TiO2 under operational conditions or the scalability of the synthesis method beyond laboratory scale. Additionally, the environmental impact of using HCl in the precursor solution is not discussed.
