Tailoring the deposition of MoSe₂ on TiO₂ nanorods arrays via radiofrequency magnetron sputtering for enhanced photoelectrochemical water splitting by Yahia H. Ahmad (14340210)

“…The photoelectrochemical properties of the heterojunction were explored and optimized as a function of the thickness of the MoSe₂ layer, which was controlled by the sputtering time. The MoSe₂ grows perpendicularly on TiO₂ NRs in a 2D layered structure, maximizing the exposed active edges, an essential aspect that permits maximum exploitation of deposited MoSe₂. …”
