Abstract
Photoelectrochemical properties of nanostructured ZnO (wurtzite) electrodes have been investigated. Studies were carried out on various types of elect rodes with controlled morphology, particle size and doping. The monochromat ic photon-to-current conversion efficiencies were recorded in the UV spectr al region on bare ZnO and in the visible region on ruthenium dye-sensitized cells. The results show relatively high efficiencies for such systems and demonstrate the potential of ZnO nanostructured cells as materials for phot ovoltaic applications. (C) 1999 Acta Metallurgica Inc.
