Surface modification of nanoscale energy electrodes using atomic layer deposition.

In this thesis, the use of atomic layer deposition (ALD) was applied on hydrothermally grown rutile-TiO2 nanorods on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), cultivating a nanorod array of anatase-rutile TiO2 heterojunctions. Thickness of the ALD thin film for optimal photocurrent generation and electron tra...
