Plasmonic enhanced Au decorated TiO2 nanotube arrays as a visible light active catalyst towards photocatalytic CO2 conversion to CH4

To boost up the plasmonic metal-nanotube junction effect under visible light irradiation, a simplistic electrochemical deposition synthesis method has been employed to decorate the Au nanoparticles in the nanotubes (TNTs). A photocatalytic experiment for the conversion of CO2 has been conducted to j...
