The thin films act as photonic sensitizers (enhancing photocurrents and photodegradation) in the visible light range. The PDA coatings can furthermore be used as a platform for decorating the TiO2 NTs with different co-catalysts and metal nanoparticles (NPs). %G English %L hal-01437852 %U https://univ-rennes.hal.science/hal-01437852 %~ ISCR %~ SCR_MACSE %~ STATS-UR1 %~ UR1-SPM %~ UR1-UFR-SPM %~ UR1-SDLM %~ TEST-UNIV-RENNES %~ UNIV-RENNES %~ UR1-MMS
