	abstract = {Several remarkable observations regarding structure, (surface) compn. and visible light induced photocatalytic activity of Bi-promoted anatase photocatalysts are reported.  First, XPS characterization data show that compns. of mixed Bi-Ti-oxide phases obtained by hydrothermal treatment at 180{\textdegree} C of aq. solns. of ethanol, titanium n-butoxide, and bismuth nitrate, are surface enriched with a specific fraction of metallic-like bismuth.  Second, the formation of highly dispersed nanoparticles of platinum on these composites by photodeposition is accompanied by significant morphol. changes.  Third, the platinum functionalized, bismuth-promoted Anatase composites exhibit extraordinary photocatalytic activity in the photocatalytic degrdn. of org. compds. (Acid orange 7 and salicylic acid, resp.) upon illumination at 447 nm, higher than obsd. for P25 upon UV illumination in similar reactor configuration.  An optimized Pt-Bi-Ti-O composite consists of 1 wt\% Pt and 5 wt\% Bi.  The high activity of the composite is discussed on the basis of the cryst. morphol. and surface compn. [on SciFinder(R)]},

	abstract = {A hydrothermal method based on the use of hydrogen peroxide is described to grow a homogeneous layer of tungsten oxide (WO3) on a platinum (Pt) film supported on a silicon wafer.  WO3 growth is highly selective for Pt when present on silicon in a patterned arrangement, demonstrating that Pt catalyzes decompn. of the WO3 precursor in soln.  The obtained Pt/WO3 interface yields high photocurrents of 1.1 mA/cm2 in photoelectrochem. water splitting when illuminated by a solar simulator.  The photocurrents are significantly higher than most previously reported values for hydrothermally grown layers on indium-tin oxide and fluorine-tin oxide glasses.  The selective growth method thus provides new options to effectively implement WO3 in photoelectrochem. devices. [on SciFinder(R)]},
