Abstract

ZnO deposited on nanoporous Au showed photocatalytic decomposition toward methyl orange under visible light, unlike ZnO sputtered on flat Au without a nanoporous structure. First-principles calculations suggested that the surface lattice disorder in nanoporous Au induced a band gap narrowing and a large built-in electric field in the adjacent ZnO, resulting in the visible-light photocatalytic response.
