title: Efficient charge storage in photoexcited TiO2 nanorod-noble metal nanoparticle composite systems.
abstract: Following UV-illumination, TiO2 nanorod-stabilized noble metal (Ag, Au) nanoparticles dispersed in deaerated organic mixtures can sustain a higher degree of conduction band electron accumulation than that achievable with pristine titania.
