      abstract = {This outstanding thesis provides a wide-ranging overview  of the growth of titanium dioxide thin films and its use in  photo-electrochemicals such as water splitting. The context  for water splitting is introduced with the theory of  semiconductor-liquid junctions, which are dealt with in  detail. In particular plasmonic enhancement of TiO2 by the  addition of gold nanoparticles is considered in depth,  including a thorough and critical review of the literature,  which discusses the possible mechanisms that may be at  work. Plasmonic enhancement is demonstrated with gold  nanoparticles on Nb-doped TiO2. Finally, the use of  temperature and pressure to control the phase and  morphology of thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition  is presented.},
