  • Heterojunction wire array solar cells
    Patent number: 9263612
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to structures for the conversion of light into energy. More specifically, the disclosure describes devices for conversion of light to electricity using ordered arrays of semiconductor wires coated in a wider band-gap material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 23, 2011
    Date of Patent: February 16, 2016
    Assignee: California Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Adele Tamboli, Daniel B. Turner-Evans, Manav Malhotra, Harry A. Atwater
  • Conformally coated wire array photoelectrodes for photoelectrochemical fuel generation
    Publication number: 20150267308
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to photoelectrodes having a wire array core and a conformal coating on the core. The wire array core and the conformal coating can be independently selected from inorganic semiconductor materials. The photoelectrodes can be used as either or both the anode and cathode in a device for fuel generation. Such a device, for example, could include a photoanode and a photocathode separated from each other by an electrically and ionically permeable, and proton-conductive membrane.
