Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I aim to improve the efficiency of photoelectron by growing metal nano pillar structure in an oxide thin film by using a self-organizing method and applying it as a water splitting photoelectron material. In particular, a material with a Schottky junction at the interface between the metal and the oxide is selected, and the photo-excited photo carrier is made to function as a depletion layer for separating charges into holes and electrons, A number of photoelectrons with three-dimensional Schottky junctions dispersed in a photoelectron thin film by a self-assemble process are fabricated to realize high efficiency of hydrogen synthesis. Here, I particularly focus on SrTiO3 based visible light responsive photocatalysts, and aim at creating innovative photoelectrode material using chemically stable single crystal thin films.
