First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

Therefore, at least the following is claimed: 1. A photocatalytic structure comprising: a substrate; a first layer comprising an aligned array of WO 3 nanorods deposited on the substrate; and a second layer deposited on each of the nanorods of the array of the first layer, the second layer comprising TiO 2 . 2. The photocatalytic structure of claim 1 , wherein the first layer and the second layer form an aligned array of two-layer nanorods.…
