Photocatalytic reduction and scavenging of Hg(II) over templated-dewetted Au on TiO${}_2$ nanotubes

Davide Spanua, Alessandro Bestetti, Helga Hildebrand +3

Gold-decorated TiO${}_2$ nanotubes were used for the photocatalytic abatement of Hg(II) in aqueous solutions. The presence of dewetted Au nanoparticles induces a strong enhancement o…
