Claims17
A photocatalytic structure comprising:
- a substrate;
- a first layer comprising an aligned array of WO3 nanorods deposited on the substrate;
- and
- a second layer deposited on each of the nanorods of the array of the first layer, the second layer comprising TiO2.

A photocatalytic structure comprising:
- a substrate;
- a first layer comprising an aligned array of nanorods deposited on the substrate, wherein each of the nanorods is made of a material selected from the group consisting of:
- WO3 and TiO2;
- and
- a second layer deposited on each of the nanorods of the array of the first layer, the second layer is made of a material selected from the group consisting of:
- WO3 and TiO2, wherein the first layer and the second layer are made of different materials,
- wherein the first layer and the second layer form a core-shell nanorod array, wherein each core-shell nanorod includes a first layer core and a second layer shell disposed around the first layer core.
