Abstract
In this paper, the defects of TiO2/Ag2O nanoheterojunctions are regulated to evaluate the effect of the interface defects on carrier trapping and recombination dynamics by time resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy (TRPL) and time resolved terahertz (THZ) spectroscopy. TRPL spectra reveal that interface defects can act as recombination center and have accelerative effect on the recombination process of photogenerated carriers under ultraviolet light. Moreover, THZ spectroscopy results demonstrate that interface defects can effectively trap electrons and expedite the Auger recombination. Furthermore, the influence of interface defects on the photocarrier dynamics of TiO2/Ag2O nanoheterojunctions was comprehensively analyzed, providing a valuable experimental reference for the regulation and application of interface defects fabricated nanoheterojunctions.Keywords
