Abstract
An elegant method of self-assembly for modification of a Ti[O.sub.2] surface via use of coordinating ligands followed by immobilization of variety of sensitizers and a dyad is reported. The current-voltage performance of the photoelectrochemical cell could be improved significantly through the utilization of the zinc porphyrin-ferrocene dyad markedly and an electron transfer-hole migration mechanism.
