The potential need of p–n junctions create an optimistic way of supporting photogenerated electron–hole pair separation and improving interfacial charge-transfer rates. In this context, a p-type semiconductor NiO can couple with n-type CeO2, thus approving visible light activity by forming p-n junct...
