Can oxygen-deficient metal oxide nanomaterials be used for energy conversion and storage?

A review of oxygen-deficient metal oxide nanomaterials for energy conversion and storage applications. Controlled creation of intrinsic defects such as oxygen vacancies can effectively modulate the optical and electronic properties of metal oxide nanomaterials.

Can oxygen-deficient metal oxides be used in photocatalysis?

This review discusses recent advances in synthetic approaches of oxygen-deficient metal oxides and their applications in photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and energy storage devices. The perspectives of oxygen-deficient metal oxides for increased energy demand and environmental sustainability are also examined.

Can oxygen vacancies modulate optical and electronic properties of metal oxide nanomaterials?

Controlled creation of intrinsic defects such as oxygen vacancies can effectively modulate the optical and electronic properties of metal oxide nanomaterials. In the past few years, a number of oxygen defective metal oxides have been developed and implemented as electrode materials for energy conversion and storage applications.

Do oxygen vacancies affect electronic and optical properties of metal oxides?

Without the surface and bulk structural information, the fundamental roles of oxygen vacancies on the electronic and optical properties of metal oxides sometimes can be controversial . Surface-sensitive soft X-ray techniques and bulk-information-included hard X-ray techniques were used to probe the O K -edges and Ti K -edges, respectively.
