摘要
To improve the efficiency of the photocurrent conversion process, we have utilized copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) rods, which are capable of enhancing the interfacial area of electron transport and plasmonic gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), which call increase the separation and photogeneration of excitons, to produce a more effective system. In-plane horizontal CuPc rods, with diameters ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 mu m, were elect rodeposited onto the surface of plasmonic (Au NP) monolayers predeposited onto ITO substrates through electrolytic micelle disruption (EMD) methods.
