Nanostructured photoelectrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells

TL;DR: In this article, the authors classify the nanostructures into (1) nanoparticles, which offer large surface area to photo-electrode film for dye-adsorption, (2) core-shell structures, which are derived from the nanoparticles however with a consideration to reduce charge recombination by forming a coating layer, (3) one-dimensional nanstructures such as nanowires and nanotubes, which provide direct pathways for electron transport much faster than in the nanoparticle films, and (4) three-dimensional nanoparticles such as Nan

Plasmonic photoanodes for solar water splitting with visible light.

TL;DR: A Plasmonic water splitting cell in which 95% of the effective charge carriers derive from surface plasmon decay to hot electrons is reported, as evidenced by fuel production efficiencies up to 20-fold higher at visible, as compared to UV, wavelengths.

Electrochemical Photolysis of Water at a Semiconductor Electrode

TL;DR: Water photolysis is investigated by exploiting the fact that water is transparent to visible light and cannot be decomposed directly, but only by radiation with wavelengths shorter than 190 nm.
