Abstract

Top and bottom decoration: Self-standing TiO2 nanotube layers in the form of membranes are fabricated by self-organizing anodization of Ti metal and a potential shock technique. A simple sputtering method was then used to decorate the membranes with Pt particles only at their top and bottom surface. The Pt-free central part of the membrane acts as light-harvesting zone while the Pt-decorated tube extremities act as electron collection zones and mediate the charge transfer towards the reaction phase.
