Unravelling the chemical morphology of a mesoporous titanium dioxide interface by confocal Raman microscopy: new clues for improving the efficiency of dye solar cells and photocatalysts.
The presence of anatase and rutile domains on nanocrystalline films of P25 TiO2, as well as the distinct coordination modes of carboxylates on those phases, were revealed by confocal Raman microscopy, a technique that showed to be suitable for imaging the chemical morphology down to submicrometric size.
