Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, TiO 2 The bandgap width is wide, about 3.2eV, so that only less than 5% of the visible light in the ultraviolet region can be effectively absorbed and utilized, resulting in TiO 2 Nanotube arrays have very low utilization of visible light; moreover, in TiO 2 In photoelectrochemical applications, photogenerated electrons and holes are easy to recombine quickly, resulting in very low quantum efficiency. The above two problems seriously restrict TiO 2 Practical application in the field of solar cell technology
