Titanium-supported titania photoelectrodes made by sol-gel processes

Titanium-supported titania-based photoelectrodes were prepared either by sol-gel processes or by thermal oxidation. Catalytic activities and stabilities of these photoelectrodes were monitored by photooxidizing formic acid in aqueous NaCl during three successive experiments under identical condition...
