title: Constructing Well-Ordered CdTe/TiO2Core/Shell Nanowire Arrays for Solar Energy Conversion.
abstract: Well-ordered CdTe/TiO2heteronanostructure arrays are fabricated via a convenient anodic aluminum oxide template-directed approach and applied to photoelectrochemistry and solar energy devices. Both the CdTe and TiO2present a decent crystalline quality. In comparison to the photoanode with only TiO2nanotube array, the CdTe/TiO2heteronanostructure electrodes possess a dramatic performance improvement.
