Investigating and correlating photoelectrochemical, photocatalytic, and antimicrobial properties of [Formula: see text] nanolayers.

ABSTRACT: Semiconducting transition metal oxides such as [Formula: see text] are promising photo(electro)catalysts for solar water splitting and photoreduction of [Formula: see text] as well as for antibacterial, self-, water and air-cleaning coatings and admixtures in paints, building materials, on window glass or medical devices. In photoelectrocatalytic applications [Formula: see text] is usually used as photoanode only catalyzing the oxidation reaction. In coatings and admixtures [Formula: see text] works as heterogeneous catalyst and has to catalyze a complete redox cycle. While photoelectrochemical charge transport parameters are usually quite well accessible by electrochemical measurements, the quantitative description of photocatalytic properties is more challenging. Here, we present a syste
