A dispersive scattering centers-based strategy for dramatically enhancing the photocatalytic efficiency of photocatalysts in liquid-phase photochemical processes: a case of Ag nanosheets.

A dispersive scattering centers-based strategy was proposed to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of photocatalysts in liquid-phase photochemical processes. Photocatalytic efficiencies of the photocatalyst, Degussa P25, in water splitting and photodegradation were markedly enhanced by using Ag nanosheets as dispersive scattering centers.
