Band offsets of novel CoTiO3/Ag3VO4 heterojunction measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
© 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. The energy band diagram and band offsets of the novel CoTiO3/Ag3VO4 heterojunction photocatalyst are investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for the first time. Excluding the strain effect, the valence-band and conduction-band offsets are determined...
