Efficient photocurrent generation by SnO2 electrode modified electrophoretically with composite clusters of porphyrin-modified silica microparticle and fullerene.
A silica microparticle has been successfully employed as a nanoscaffold to self-organize porphyrin and C60 molecules on a nanostructured SnO2 electrode which exhibits efficient photocurrent generation.
