The authors have developed a wet, band-gap-selective, photoelectrochemical etching process capable of producing cantilever microelectromechanical systems from InGaN/GaN heterostructures. Fabricated cantilevers were successfully actuated, and resonance spectra were measured. The as-grown strain gradient in the GaN film was found to relax upon removal, resulting in upward curvature of the cantile...

Herein we propose novel photoelectrochemical fuel cells (PEFCs) by the introduction of a solid-state Ag2O/Ag cathode (here also term as photoelectrochemical battery). Due to the superior electrochemical properties of Ag2O/Ag, the maximum power density of our PEFCs can reach 0.94 mW cm(-2) upon UV illumination. Furthermore, our PEFCs have stable cycle operation and can be undertaken in a single ...

High throughput electrochemical techniques are widely applied in material discovery and optimization. For many applications, the most desirable electrochemical characterization requires a three-electrode cell under potentiostat control. In high throughput screening, a material library is explored by either employing an array of such cells, or rastering a single cell over the library. To attain ...

Multilayer Zn(II) tetraphenylporphyrin chromophores, assembled using copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), provide a new sensitization scheme that could be useful in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). We report on the photoelectrochemical responses of multilayer films of Zn(II) 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-ethynylphenyl)porphyrin (1) assembled on planar ITO substrates operating as a p-typ...

The behavior of crystalline nanoparticles depends strongly on which facets are exposed. Some facets are more active than others, but it is difficult to selectively isolate particular facets. This study provides fundamental insights into photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical performance of three types of TiO(2) nanoparticles with predominantly exposed {101}, {010}, or {001} facets, where 86-99...

This work is the first report on the energy transfer between CdS quantum dots and Au nanoparticles for photoelectrochemical biosensing applications.

ZnO nanorods inorganic-organic heterostructured light-emitting diodes have been demonstrated on a cheap/disposable paper substrate and applied in multiplexed photoelectrochemical immunoassay.

A facile electrochemical method is developed to synthesize p-type Zn-doped α-Fe2O3 nanotube arrays that demonstrate excellent photoelectrochemical properties for water splitting.
