title: Au nanoparticle electrocatalysis in a photoelectrochemical solar cell using CdS quantum dot-sensitized TiO2 photoelectrodes.
abstract: A significant Au particle size-dependent electrocatalytic effect has been shown in a sandwich type photoelectrochemical solar cell consisting of CdS quantum dot (QD)-sensitized TiO(2) photoelectrodes, Au nanoparticle (NP)-loaded SnO(2) counter electrodes, and a polysulfide electrolyte solution intervening between the electrodes.
