Facile synthesis of free-standing CeO(2) nanorods for photoelectrochemical applications.
Free-standing CeO(2) nanorods with different morphology grew directly on Ti substrates via an electrochemical assembly process, and their absorption edges show a remarkable red-shift to the visible region. Moreover, photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) measurements demonstrate these CeO(2) nanorods exhibit a photovoltaic response under visible light illumination (λ≥ 390 nm).
