This research aims to investigate the role of interfacial strain and defects in improving the photoelectrochemical performance of core-shell nanodendrites.
Analyzed atomic configuration using synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
Conducted scanning transmission X-ray microscopy combined with Ptychography for spatial resolution.
Performed high-resolution transmission electron microscopy for structural characterization.
Interfacial strain at the Fe2TiO5/ZnO interface leads to distinct bond elongation and contraction.
Defect-induced valence modulation creates an electric field that enhances charge separation.
Interfacial electron hopping improves electron transport across the heterojunction.
