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

“…Compared to pure TiO₂ NRs, the heterojunction nanostructured assembly displayed excellent spectral and photoelectrochemical properties, including more surface oxygen vacancies, enhanced visible-light absorption, higher photocurrent response, and decreased charge transfer resistance. In particular, the sample synthesized by sputtering of MoSe₂ for 90 s, i.e., MoSe₂@TiO₂-90 s, depicted the highest current density (1.86 mA cm⁻² at 0.5 V vs. …”
