Self-powered visual ultraviolet photodetector with Prussian blue electrochromic display

A novel self-powered ultraviolet (UV) photodetector was successfully constructed through combining Pt-modified TiO2 nanotubes and Prussian blue (PB)-modified ITO, in which the existence of UV could be judged easily by naked eye with the aid of PB for electrochromic display. More importantly, it could also self-recover without UV light illumination.
