Wrighton, M S

Research progress during the period October 1, 1985 to September 30, 1986 has been mainly in the areas of (1) synthesis and characterization of multi-component, macromolecular redox reagents, (2) specific interaction of redox reagents with semiconductor photoelectrode surfaces, including modification procedures for InP, and (3) new photoelectrode modification procedures. These three research areas are ones which will lead to new kinds of interfacial systems for the conversion of visible light to electricity or high energy chemicals in the form of redox products. Several publications have appeared, as listed below, describing some of the highlights of research during the report period. The sections included highlight areas where more recent progress has been made.
