Title: Semiconductor particles and arrays for the photoelectrochemical utilization of solar energy. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5622222

Principles of the design of integrated chemical systems based on semiconductor materials for the photoelectrochemical utilization of solar energy to drive useful chemical reactions are described. The use of different support materials, such as Nafion and silica, to prepare particulate systems is discussed. Systems with very small (Q- ) particles are described. Charging of these particles is proposed as an important factor in the determination of particle energetics (optical band gap and potentials of photogenerated electrons and holes).
