Abstract

Abstract : Photo-induced water splitting to hydrogen and oxygen was shown to occur in a DSPEC with a near-infrared dyeD1 . Abstract : Dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (DSPECs) composed of a new near-infrared BODIPY dyeD1 that is co-deposited with a ruthenium water oxidation catalystC1 have been fabricated. The devices at pH 7.2 showed an excellent Faradaic efficiency of H2 production (65.8%) that was 5.4 times larger than that of a triphenylamine photosensitizerD2 andC1 -coadsorbed cell.
