Kazuhiro Sayama,Shingo Tsukagoshi,Kohjiro Hara,Yasuyo Ohga,Akira Shinpou,Yoshimoto Abe,and Sadaharu Suga,Hironori Arakawa +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, photoelectrochemical properties of nanoporous TiO2 electrodes sensitized by a series of benzothiazole merocyanine dyes, 3-carboxyalkyl-5-[2-(3-alkyl)-2-benzothiazolinyldene) ethylidene]-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone, having a different alkyl chain length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photocatalytic Activity of R3MO7 and R2Ti2O7 (R = Y, Gd, La; M = Nb, Ta) for Water Splitting into H2 and O2
TL;DR: The photocatalytic activities of R3MO7 and R2Ti2O7 (R=Y, Gd, La; M=Nb, Ta) strongly depended on the crystal structure, and the octahedral network certainly increased the mobility of electrons and holes, thereby enhancing photoc atalytic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron transport in coumarin-dye-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO2 electrodes
TL;DR: The values of tau depended on the kind of coumarin dye, each of which has a different number of thiophene moieties, suggesting that the molecular structure of the adsorbed dyes also affects the kinetics of electron transport in the TiO2 electrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photocatalytic Water Splitting into H2 and O2 over R3TaO7 and R3NbO7 (R = Y, Yb, Gd, La): Effect of Crystal Structure on Photocatalytic Activity
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase transition from cubic into orthorhombic was observed at 1000−1050 °C, and the photocatalytic activity was drastically increased by phase transition to orthorHombic, while only a small amount of H2 was evolved over other photocatalyst with cubic structure.

Highly efficient photosensitization of TiO2 with diimine(diketonato)ruthenium(II) complexes
Hideki Sugihara,Shinji Sano,Takeshi Yamaguchi,Masatoshi Yanagida,Tadatake Sato,Yoshimoto Abe,Yukinori Nagao,Hironori Arakawa +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the electron-donating strength of β-diketonate can be tuned by choosing alkyl substitutents of the diketones, and the photoelectrochemical cell sensitized with [Ru(dcbpy) 2 (dpmo)]Cl (Dpmo=dipivaloylmethanato) showed a solar light to electricity conversion efficiency of 6.9%.
