Abstract

Free-standing CeO₂ nanorods with different morphology grew directly on Ti substrates via an electrochemical assembly process, and their absorption edges show a remarkable red-shift to the visible region. Moreover, photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) measurements demonstrate these CeO₂ nanorods exhibit a photovoltaic response under visible light illumination (λ ≥ 390 nm).
