Abstract
The 3D TiO2 microflowers, sensitized by Bi2Te3 nanoparticles, having novel architecture were generated employing a two-step synthetic strategy, including a hydrothermal process and a potentiostatic electrodeposition technique. The design and synthesis of quantum dots (QDs) for achieving high photoelectrochemical performance is an urgent need for high technology fields
