Investigating the synthesis, optical characterization, and environmental applications of β-Ga2O3 nanowires, focusing on their photocatalytic properties and potential in optoelectronic devices.
研究成果
β-Ga2O3 nanowires exhibit promising properties for optoelectronic and environmental applications, including high photocatalytic activity attributed to gallium-associated defects. The study provides a foundation for further research into their applications and optimization of their properties.
研究不足
The study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of β-Ga2O3 nanowires under controlled conditions, which may not fully represent their behavior in real-world applications. The photocatalytic activity was tested only with RB and MB, limiting the understanding of its effectiveness against other pollutants.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The synthesis of β-Ga2O3 nanowires was conducted using a vapor transport method driven by the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism. Optical properties were characterized using temperature-dependent thermoreflectance (TR) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and absorption spectroscopy.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were prepared under different ambient oxygen conditions to study the effect on optical properties and photocatalytic activity.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A horizontal tube furnace, molten gallium (99.9999%, Alfa Aesar), gold-coated silicon substrates, and various spectroscopic equipment including a Q-switch frequency-doubled Nd-YAG laser (266 nm) for PL measurements.

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The nanowires were grown at 900°C with varying oxygen concentrations. Post-growth, samples were characterized structurally and optically, and their photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the decomposition of rhodamine B (RB) and methyl blue (MB) under UV light.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The optical data were analyzed using Lorentzian line-shape functions for inter-band transitions, and photocatalytic activity was quantified by the degradation rates of RB and MB.
