Photo-electrochemical water splitting system with three-layer n-type organic semiconductor film as photoanode under visible irradiation

A three-layer structure of n-type organic semiconductors (PTCDA/PTCDA:PCBM/PCBM) is successfully identified as pho- toanode for photoelectrochemical water oxidation during the overall splitting of water into hydrogen/oxygen in a nearly stoi- chiometric ratio (H2:O2 = 2:1) under visible irradiation (...

Zusammenfassung:A three-layer structure of n-type organic semiconductors (PTCDA/PTCDA:PCBM/PCBM) is successfully identified as pho- toanode for photoelectrochemical water oxidation during the overall splitting of water into hydrogen/oxygen in a nearly stoi- chiometric ratio (H2:O2 = 2:1) under visible irradiation (2 〉 420 nm). A possible charge separation mechanism under visible light illumination was also proposed.
