Multiple band light trapping in ultraviolet, visible and near infrared regions with TiO2 based photonic materials†
Abstract
TiO2 based photonic materials (TiO2 PMs) with hierarchical top-nanonet/bottom-nanotube structures were fabricated by a facile two-step electrochemical anodization method. The TiO2 PMs demonstrated multiple band light trapping activity not only in the ultraviolet and visible regions, but also in the near infrared region.
