Fabrication of a nanoparticle TiO2 photoelectrochemical cell utilizing a solid polymeric electrolyte of PAN-PC-LiClO4
A nanoparticle TiO2 solid-state photoelectrochemical cell utilizing as a solid electrolyte of poly(acrylonitrile)-propylene-carbonate-lithium perchlorate (PAN-PC-LiClO4) has been fabricated. The performance of the device has been tested in the dark and under illumination of 100-mW cm-2 light. A nano...
