Plasmon mediated cathodic photocurrent generation in sol-gel synthesized doped SrTiO3 nanofilms

Thin films of SrTiO3 (STO) and Rh-doped SrTiO3 (Rh-STO) were synthesized by sol-gel method and loaded with Ag nanoparticles. Pristine STO films exhibited anodic photocurrent while Rh-STO exhibited cathodic photocurrent. An enhancement in the overall cathodic photocurrent is observed with Ag nanopart...
