Abstract

From solutions of organic precursors, nanosized films of titanium dioxide with photoelectrochemical activity in the visible region are obtained. A possibility of photoelectrochemical oxidation of a number of organic compounds under illumination with monochromatic light at a wavelength of 464 nm is demonstrated, which may be due to a decrease in the n-TiO2 band-gap energy to 2.7 eV.
