  • ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTOR-CONDUCTOR COMPOSITE PARTICLE STRUCTURES FOR SOLAR ENERGY CONVERSION
    Publication number: 20140261646
    Abstract: An electrode for solar conversion including a porous structure configured to contain therein at least one of a catalyst, a chromophore, and a redox couple. The porous structure has a set of electrically conductive nanoparticles adjoining each other. The set of electrically conductive nanoparticles forms a meandering electrical path connecting the nanoparticles together. The porous structure has an atomic layer by layer deposited semiconductive coating disposed conformally on the electrically conductive nanoparticles to form an exterior surface for reception of charge carriers.
