Abstract

Combinatorial pulsed laser deposition approach is suitable to study complex effects such as composition, thickness and surface structure on thin film-based photocatalysis in high-throughput manner. We fabricated composition spreads and thickness gradient films of transition metal-doped SrTiO3(001) on various oxide single crystal substrates and evaluated their photocatalytic activity by the use of photoreduction of Ag+ in AgNO3 solution. We found anomalous film thickness and substrate effects on the Ag-photodeposition in the V-doped SrTiO3 epitaxial thin films grown on the Nb:SrTiO3(001) substrate.
