Controllable properties of NiO nanostructures fabricated by plasma assisted-chemical vapor deposition

Abstract

An original plasma assisted vapor phase route is proposed for the low-temperature fabrication of supported NiO nanostructures on conductive glasses. The sole deposition time variation enables to tailor material properties, modulating, in turn, the system wettability and functional performances in the photodegradation of recalcitrant pollutants.
