Abstract:

Semiconductor-based photoelectrochemical cells are the best man-contrived devices for the direct conversion of sunlight to electrical or chemical energy using chemically-based systems. Deliberate modification of the surface of the semiconductor photoelectrode is useful in improving the rate of desired processes and in suppressing undesirable anodic corrosion associated with photoanodes. Illustrations of the use of surface modification will be presented with specific examples coming from work with molecular-based derivatizing reagents and from the use of metals or metal oxides coated onto the photoelectrode surface.
