Abstract
Nanofabrication schemes usually suffer challenges in direct growth on complex nanostructured substrates. We provide a new technology that allows for the convenient, selective growth of complex nanostructures directly on three-dimensional (3D) homogeneous semiconductor substrates. The nature of the selectivity is derived from surface states modulated electrochemical deposition. Metals, metal oxides, and compound semiconductor structures can be prepared with high fidelity over a wide scale range from tens of nanometers to hundreds of microns. The utility of the process for photoelectrochemical applications is demonstrated by selectively decorating the sidewalls and tips of silicon microwires with cuprous oxide and cobalt oxides catalysts, respectively. Our findings indicate a new selective fabrication concept applied for homogeneous 3D semiconductor substrates, which is of high promise in community of photoelectronics, photoelectrochemistry, photonics, microelectronics, etc.

Abstract
Removal of recalcitrant pollutants from water is a major challenge, to which the photoelectrocatalytic processes may be a solution. Applied potential plays a key role in the photocatalytic activity of the semiconductor. This paper investigated the effect of applied potential on the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) with TiO2 nanotubular anodes under solar light irradiation. The process was investigated at constant potentials in different regions of the polarization curve: the ohmic region, the saturation region and in the region of the Schottky barrier breakdown. PEC tests were performed in aqueous solutions of 2,4-D, and in the presence of methanol or formic acid, as scavengers of OH• radicals and holes. Results showed the main mechanism is oxidation by OH• radicals from water oxidation, while runs with hole scavenger revealed a second mechanism of direct oxidation by holes photogenerated at the electrode surface, with high removal rates due to current doubling effect.

Abstract
The role of nucleation was investigated during phototropic growth of Se-Te. Under low levels of mass deposition (mass equivalent of -3.75 mC cm-2 of charge passed) that produced small nucleate spacings, patterns in photoelectrochemically deposited Se-Te films converged at relatively earlier levels of mass deposition and ultimately exhibited higher pattern fidelity throughout pattern development as compared to pattern formation from larger initial nucleate spacings. Consistently, use of an applied striking potential during very early levels of mass deposition produced more spatially random dark-phase electrodeposited nucleates and led to phototropic Se-Te photoelectrodeposited films that exhibited improved pattern fidelity relative to depositions performed with no striking step. Collectively, the data indicate that increases in randomness and spatial disorder of the dispersion of the initial nucleates produces increases in the fidelity and spatial order in the resulting phototropically grown electrodeposits.

Abstract
A "pseudo photocatalysis" process, being initiated between plasma and N-type semiconductors in the absence of light, was investigated for NO removal for the first time via dynamic probing of reaction processes by FT-IR spectra. It was demonstrated that N-type semiconductor catalysts could be activated to produce electron-hole (e--h+) pairs by the collision of high-energy electrons (e*) from plasma. Due to the synergy of plasma and N-type semiconductors, major changes were noted in the conversion pathways and products. NO can be directly converted to NO2- and NO3- instead of toxic NO2, owing to the formation of O2- and ·OH present in catalysts. New species like O3 or ·O may be generated from the interaction between catalyst-induced species and radicals in plasma at a higher SIE, leading to deep oxidation of existing NO2 to N2O5. Experiments with added trapping agents confirmed the contribution of e- and h+ from catalysts. A series of possible reactions were proposed to describe reaction pathways and the mechanism of this synergistic effect. We established a novel system and realized an e*-activated "pseudo photocatalysis" behavior, facilitating the deep degradation of NO. We expect that this new strategy would provide a new idea for in-depth analysis of plasma-activated catalysis phenomenon.

Abstract
Over the past ten years, self-aligned TiO2 nanotubes have attracted tremendous scientific and technological interest due to their anticipated impact on energy conversion, environment remediation and biocompatibility. In the present manuscript, we review fundamental principles that govern the self-organized initiation of anodic TiO2 nanotubes. We start with the fundamental question: why is self-organization taking place? We illustrate the inherent key mechanistic aspects that lead to tube growth in various different morphologies, such as ripple-walled tubes, smooth tubes, stacks and bamboo-type tubes, and importantly the formation of double-walled TiO2 nanotubes versus single-walled tubes, and the drastic difference in their physical and chemical properties. We show how both double- and single-walled tube layers can be detached from the metallic substrate and exploited for the preparation of robust self-standing membranes. Finally, we show how by selecting specific growth approaches to TiO2 nanotubes desired functional features can be significantly improved, e.g., enhanced electron mobility, intrinsic doping, or crystallization into pure anatase at high temperatures can be achieved. Finally, we briefly outline the impact of property, modifications and morphology on functional uses of self-organized nanotubes for most important applications.

Abstract
Photocatalytic approaches, that is the reaction of light-produced charge carriers at a semiconductor surface with their environment, currently attract an extremely wide scientific interest. This is to a large extent due to the high expectations: i) to convert sunlight directly into an energy carrier (H(2)), ii) to stimulate chemical synthetic reactions, or iii) to degrade unwanted environmental pollutants. Since the early reports in 1972, TiO(2) has been the most investigated photocatalytic material by far; this originates from its outstanding electronic properties that allow for a wide range of applications. Not only the material, but also its structure and morphology, can have a considerable influence on the photocatalytic performance of TiO(2). In recent years, particularly 1D (or pseudo 1D) structures such as nanowires and nanotubes have received great attention. The present Review focuses on TiO(2) nanotube arrays (and similar structures) that grow by self-organizing electrochemistry (highly aligned) from a Ti metal substrate. Herein, the growth, properties, and applications of these tubes are discussed, as well as ways and means to modify critical tube properties. Common strategies are addressed to improve the performance of photocatalysts such as doping or band-gap engineering, co-catalyst decoration, junction formation, or applying external bias. Finally, some unique applications of the ordered tube structures in various photocatalytic approaches are outlined.

Abstract
TiO(2) is one of the most studied compounds in materials science. Owing to some outstanding properties it is used for instance in photocatalysis, dye-sensitized solar cells, and biomedical devices. In 1999, first reports showed the feasibility to grow highly ordered arrays of TiO(2) nanotubes by a simple but optimized electrochemical anodization of a titanium metal sheet. This finding stimulated intense research activities that focused on growth, modification, properties, and applications of these one-dimensional nanostructures. This review attempts to cover all these aspects, including underlying principles and key functional features of TiO(2), in a comprehensive way and also indicates potential future directions of the field.

Abstract
We have identified a possible electronic origin of metal filaments, invoked to explain the switching behavior of organic devices. Interfaces of two representative organics polyparaphenylene (PPP) and poly(2-methoxy-5-2-ethyl-hexyloxy-1,4-phenylenevinylene) with Ag are investigated using ballistic emission microscopy. Nanometer scale spatial nonuniformity of carrier injection is observed in ballistic electron emission microscopy images of both interfaces. The measured Schottky barrier (SB) appears to be consistent with metal states tailing into the gap of the PPP. We find that the SB values exhibit a distribution, even for the diodes with low ideality factors. The implications of this distribution on the measured physical properties of the diode are discussed, in light of work on devices of similar geometry, published in the literature. We also demonstrate that patches of low SB are likely to nucleate current filaments which can cause local ionization and are reported to be responsible for the switching behavior observed in metal-organic, metal-CuS and Ag-AgSe structures.
