摘要
Better with gold! Gold nanoparticles have a deep red color and an absorption maximum at about 530 nm. They have been used to remarkably improve the performance of silver chloride photoanodes for photoelectrochemical water oxidation to dioxygen. The Figure shows O2 production versus time for an AgCl electrode modified with Au colloids.
