Effect of YDC nanoparticles loading for photocatalytic activity on CeO₂

Abstract

In recent year, we have reported that the interface between YDC and CeO₂ synthesized by heterogeneous Y doping into CeO₂ become an active site for photocatalytic water splitting. In this study, YDC-CeO₂ interface was fabricated by hybridization of as-prepared YDC nanoparticles and CeO₂ surface, instead of Y doping. Photocatalytic activity of water splitting against Y concentration and amount of interface was investigated.
