Photoelectrochemistry of Redox-Active Self-Assembled Monolayers Formed on n-Si/Au Nanoparticle Photoelectrodes.

ABSTRACT: Controlling the chemistry of the electrode-solution interface is critically important for applications in sensing, energy storage, corrosion prevention, molecular electronics, and surface patterning. While numerous methods of chemically modifying electrodes exist, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) containing redox-active moieties are particularly important because they are easy to prepare, have well-defined interfaces, and can exhibit textbook photoelectrochemistry. Here, we investigate the photoelectrochemistry of redox-active SAMs on semiconductor/metal interfaces, where the SAM is attached to the metal site instead of the semiconductor. n-Si/Au photoelectrodes were fabricated using a benchtop electrodeposition procedure and subsequently modified by immersion in aqueous solutions o
