Harnessing Visible-light Energy for Unbiased Organic Photoelectrocatalysis: Synthesis of N-Bearing Fused Rings

In this research, we realized the conversion of visible light to electrical energy and the C-H activation by the synergistic catalytic effect of visible-light and photoelectric current. An atom-economical and...

Photoelectric current as a highly sensitive readout for potentiometric sensors

The photocurrent at a working electrode coated with a ZnSe/r-GO composite can be modulated by a polymeric membrane ion-selective electrode that works as a reference electrode.

Giant enhancements in electronic transport and photoelectric properties of bismuth oxysulfide by pressure-driven 2D–3D structural reconstruction

By applying hydrostatic pressure, a structural evolution from 2D layered to 3D network structure has been realized in bismuth oxysulfide Bi9O7.5S6, resulting in giant enhancements in electric conductivity and photoelectric current.

Illuminating nanostructured gold electrode: surface plasmons or electron ejection?

We used a surface-plasmon-active gold-mushroom-array as a working electrode and observed enhanced faradaic current from ferrocenemethanol following illumination with a xenon lamp. The photoelectric current behaved differently in the presence and absence of oxygen in the solution.

Large enhancement in photocurrent by Mn doping in CdSe/ZTO quantum dot sensitized solar cells

In the presence of Mn impurities in relatively small concentrations (2.3%) the photoelectric current of CdSe QDSCCs increases by up to 190%. We propose an electron tunneling mechanism from the quantum dot LUMO state to the Zn2SnO4 semiconductor photoanode.
