Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photo-reaction device using a semiconductor nanowire as a PEC element in which high voltage required in reaction such as decomposition and synthesis can be obtained by using sunlight with high efficiency.SOLUTION: A photo-reaction device comprises a nanowire 101, a first electrode 102 formed on one end of the nanowire 101, and a second electrode 103 formed on the other end of the nanowire 101. The nanowire 101 comprises a first part 104 which is composed of group III-V compound semiconductor and a second part 105 which is connected in series to the first part 104 and composed of group III-V compound semiconductor. Each of the first part 104 and the second part 105 comprises a pin-type diode structure by an n-type layer, an i-type layer, and a p-type layer.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】半導体ナノワイヤをPEC素子として用いた光反応装置において、太陽光を用いて高い効率で分解や合成などの反応に必要な高い電圧を得ることができるようにする。【解決手段】ナノワイヤ101と、ナノワイヤ101の一端に形成された第1電極102と、ナノワイヤ101の他端に形成された第2電極103とを備える。ナノワイヤ101は、III−V族化合物半導体から構成された第1部分104と、第1部分104に直列に接続されてIII−V族化合物半導体から構成された第2部分105とを備える。第1部分104および第2部分105は、それぞれ、n型層,i型層,p型層によるpin型ダイオード構造を備える。【選択図】 図1
