Unravelling the Chemical Morphology of a Mesoporous Titanium Dioxide Interface by Confocal Raman Microscopy: New Clues for Improving the Efficiency of Dye Solar Cells and Photocatalysts

The presence of anatase and rutile domains on nanocrystalline films of P25 TiO(2), as well as the distinct coordination modes of carboxylates on those phases, were revealed by confocal Raman microscopy, a technique that showed to be suitable for imaging the chemical morphology down to submicrometric size.
