Abstract
Transparent nanocrystalline ZnO films have been prepared on a conducti ng glass substrate by sol-gel techniques. Their sensitization by adsor ption of a ruthenium-based complex and subsequent incorporation as the light harvesting unit in a regenerative photoelectrochemical cell are described. The resulting device has a monochromatic incident photon-t o-current conversion efficiency of 13% at 520 nm.
