Toward a Visible Light-Driven Photocatalyst: The Effect of Midgap-States-Induced Energy Gap of Undoped TiO2 Nanoparticles
Houman Yaghoubi,Zhi Li,Yao Chen,Huong T. Ngo,Venkat R. Bhethanabotla,Babu Joseph,Shengqian Ma,Rudy Schlaf,Arash Takshi +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the electronic and optical properties of undoped mixed-phase TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated using UV and inverse photoemission, low intensity X-ray photoelectron (XP), and diffused reflectance spectroscopy methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid Wiring of the Rhodobacter sphaeroides Reaction Center for Applications in Bio-photoelectrochemical Solar Cells
Houman Yaghoubi,Zhi Li,Daniel Jun,Evan Lafalce,Xiaomei Jiang,Rudy Schlaf,J. Thomas Beatty,Arash Takshi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an immobilization method was used to bind the wild type Rhodobacter sphaeroides RC from the primary donor side onto a Au electrode using an immobilized cytochrome c (cyt c) protein via a docking mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Gold-Adsorbed Photosynthetic Reaction Centers and Redox Mediators in the Charge Transfer and Photocurrent Generation in a Bio-Photoelectrochemical Cell
Houman Yaghoubi,Zhi Li,Daniel Jun,Rafael G. Saer,Joanna E. Slota,M. M. Beerbom,Rudy Schlaf,John D. W. Madden,J. Thomas Beatty,Arash Takshi +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of redox mediators in the photocurrent generation and the cycle of charge transfer in photovoltaic devices was investigated. But, the adsorption of analytes on the electrodes can affect the charge transfer from RCs to the electrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A one pot organic/CdSe nanoparticle hybrid material synthesis with in situ π-conjugated ligand functionalization.
Katherine A. Mazzio,Ken Okamoto,Zhi Li,Sebastian Gutmann,Elisabeth Strein,David S. Ginger,Rudy Schlaf,Christine K. Luscombe +7 more
TL;DR: A one pot method for organic/colloidal CdSe nanoparticle hybrid material synthesis is presented, which requires smaller amounts of the desired capping ligand, shorter syntheses and fewer processing steps, while maintaining nanoparticle morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of the Internal Orbital Alignment of Oligothiophene-TiO2 Nanoparticle Hybrids
Zhi Li,Harald Berger,Ken Okamoto,Qifeng Zhang,Christine K. Luscombe,Guozhong Cao,Rudy Schlaf +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the electronic structure of the inner-molecule interface in oligothiophene-TiO2 organic molecule/nanoparticle hybrid was investigated using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet photo-emission spectrum (UPS), and ultraviolet-visible spectrograms (UV-vis).
