TL;DR: In this article, a transparent titanium dioxide membrane was prepared by sintering 5 nm colloidal anatase particles on a conducting glass support and the flatband potential of the conduction band was determined using visible and near-infrared spectra.

TL;DR: In this article, a high molar extinction coefficient heteroleptic polypyridyl ruthenium sensitizer, featuring an electron-rich 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene unit in its ancillary ligand, was used for dye-sensitized solar cells.

TL;DR: In this article, the photovoltaic behavior of the electrodes containing LiI/LiI3/propylene carbonate electrolyte was measured by irradiation with visible light and it was shown that electron injection into TiO2 occurs from the excited singlet state of the phthalocyanine derivatives.

TL;DR: The formation of an accumulation layer on a nanocrystalline TiO2 (anatase) electrode was studied by cyclic voltammetry in solutions of MCF3SO3 (M = Li, Na, K, Cs, NBu4; Bu = n-butyl) + propylene carbonate as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: An overview of a collaborative experimental and theoretical effort toward efficient hydrogen production via photoelectrochemical splitting of water into di-hydrogen and di-oxygen is presented in this article, where state-of-the-art experimental studies using hematite and TiO(2) functionalized with gold nanoparticles as photoanode materials, and theoretical studies on electro and photo-catalysis of water on a range of metal oxide semiconductor materials, including recently developed implementation of self-interaction corrected energy functionals.
