    The formation of defect-pairs for highly efficient visible-light catalysts
    (Wiley, 2017-01-23) Sun, QB; Cortie, DL; Zhang, SY; Frankcombe, TJ; She, GW; Gao, J; Sheppard, LR; Hu, WB; Chen, H; Zhuo, SJ; Chen, DH; Withers, RL; McIntyre, GJ; Yu, DH; Shi, WS; Liu, Y
    Highly efficient visible-light catalysts are achieved through forming defect-pairs in TiO2 nanocrystals. This study therefore proposes that fine-tuning the chemical scheme consisting of charge-compensated defect-pairs in balanced concentrations is a key missing step for realizing outstanding photocatalytic performance. This research benefits photocatalytic applications and also provides new insight into the significance of defect chemistry for functionalizing materials. © 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
