Chapter 9 Conclusions
9.3 Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity with Carbon-Modified ZnO Inverse Opals
We have successfully demonstrated an easy-to-fabricated route to directly prepare
carbon-modified ZnO inverse opals on the ITO substrate as photoanodes. While
hierarchical inverse-opal nanoarchitectures enthrall the idea of increasing the optical
electron-hole pairs, visible-light absorption, and photostability for ZnO photoanode.
