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. 000755444 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 26, 2016). 000755444 650_0 $$aTitanium dioxide. 000755444 650_0 $$aTitanium dioxide films. 000755444 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAlexander, John Callum$$tSurface Modifications and Growth of Titanium Dioxide for Photo-Electrochemical Water Splitting$$dCham : Springer International Publishing,c2016$$z9783319342276 000755444 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000755444 852__ $$bebk 000755444 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-34229-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000755444 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:755444$$pGLOBAL_SET 000755444 980__ $$aEBOOK 000755444 980__ $$aBIB 000755444 982__ $$aEbook 000755444 983__ $$aOnline 000755444 994__ $$a92$$bISE
