• are transported first to the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO, SnO2:F) conductive layer through TiO2 grain boundaries and then to the cathode reducing electron acceptor there (O2 in the present case). In a Schottky junction, under the conditions when the band structure is flat without any bending, the

• To prepare a nanoporous TiO2 film, Ti-nanoxide paste (T/SP, average particle size 13 nm, anatase >90%) was purchased from Solaronix SA, Aubonne, Switzerland. Larger size TiO2 powders, G2 (500 nm, rutile >95%) was purchased from Showa Denko Co., Ltd, Japan. F-doped SnO2 conductive glass (FTO, surface

• surfaces of substrates or homogeneous nucleation in solution, is determined by the supersaturated solution [16]. When the solution is supersaturated, nucleation begins; ITO nanocrystallites form on the template surface (Equation 12), according to the concentration ratio of In2O3 and SnO2, due to the
