Visible-light-induced photocatalysis through surface plasmon excitation of gold on titania surfaces

Fifteen commercial titania (titanium(iv) oxide; TiO(2)) powders were modified with gold by photodeposition to prepare photocatalysts that work under irradiation with light in the visible range (vis). The gold-modified titania (Au/TiO(2)) powders were characterized by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy... View More
