Potential Tuning of Nanoarchitectures Based on Phthalocyanine Nanopillars: Construction of Effective Photocurrent Generation Systems.
Nanopillars composed of a photoresponsive phthalocyanine derivative have been conveniently fabricated using a continuous silane coupling reaction on a substrate. The chemical potentials of phthalocyanine nanopillars (PNs) are precisely controlled by changing the number of phthalocyanine derivatives on the substrate. In addition, photocurrent generation efficiencies have been strongly influenced by the number of phthalocyanine derivatives. High photocurrent conversion cells in a solid state have been obtained by the combination of PNs and a fullerene derivative.
