Journal ArticleDOI

Role of inversion layer formation in producing low effective surface recombination velocities at Si/liquid contacts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of formation of an inversion layer, and not a reduced density of electrical trap sites on the surface, for the long charge-carrier lifetime observed for Si surfaces in contact with CH3OH or tetrahydrofuran (THF) electrolytes containing I2 or Fc+/0.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defect-Tolerant TiO2-Coated and Discretized Photoanodes for >600 h of Stable Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation

TL;DR: In this article, a tandem, vertical-wire-array-on-planar absorber is proposed for GaAs nanowires, which are grown by selective-area metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition (MOCVD) onto photoactive planar Si substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design of a scanning tunneling microscope for electrochemical applications

TL;DR: In this paper, a design for a scanning tunneling microscope that is well suited for electrochemical investigations is presented, and the construction of the microscope ensures that only the tunneling tip and the sample participate in electrochemical reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrochemical surface science twenty years later: Expeditions into the electrocatalysis of reactions at the core of artificial photosynthesis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results selected from on-going studies of earth-abundant electrocatalysts for the reactions that underpin artificial photosynthesis: nickel-molybdenum alloys for the hydrogen evolution reaction, calcium birnessite as a heterogeneous analogue for the oxygen-evolving complex in natural photosynthesis, and single-crystalline copper in relation to the carbon dioxide reduction reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tunneling mechanism implications from an stm study of h3c(ch2)15hc=c=ch(ch2)15ch3 on graphite and c14h29oh on mos2

TL;DR: In this paper, the bright spots in high-resolution STM images of adsorbed alkanes and alkanols are predominantly due to the electronic and topographic structure of th...
