Abstract
The present disclosure provides for methods for designing and constructing metal/semiconductor heterostructures as catalysts for a wide range of applications such as oxygen activation. In a particular aspect, the present disclosure provides for the manipulation of atomic structures at MJ/TiOinterface (e.g., Au/TiOinterface) that significantly alters the interfacial electron distribution and prompts Oactivation. In an aspect, the present disclosure provides for a M/TiOcomposites (e.g., heterostructures) having a N defect-free M/TiOinterface and method of making the M/TiOcomposites having a defect-free M/TiOinterface. The M can be Au, Ag, Cu, Al, Pt, Ni, or Pd, for example.
