Experimental plasmon-induced photocatalytic enhancement of ZnO-Ga2O3 composite thin films and first-principle DFT calculations
Key Points
Enhanced photocatalytic activity is observed in ZnO-Ga2O3 composite thin films due to plasmon interactions, leading to more efficient light absorption.
Photocatalytic efficiency increased by 40% under visible light illumination compared to standard ZnO films, enhancing overall performance.
Experimental analysis includes advanced plasmon-based techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to understand the mechanisms involved.
These findings highlight the potential for more efficient photocatalysts, paving the way for advancements in renewable energy applications.
