摘要
Some recent results obtained in our group on nanoporous semiconductors are reviewed. Both particulate (TiO2) and crystalline (GaP, SiC) layers are considered. Typical structural dimensions are in the 15-150 nm range. These electrodes show greatly enhanced efficiencies for conversion of light to photocurrent. In addition, majority carrier transport in such systems is surprisingly slow. The factors determining charge carrier dynamics in nanoporous semiconductor photoelectrodes are discussed.
