Transparent Conductive Encapsulants for Photoelectrochemical Applications

Abstract

Abstract Invited for this issue's Front Cover is a group of researchers from the Materials, Chemistry, and Computational Science Directorate at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, led by Dr. Ann L. Greenaway. The front cover picture shows the surface of a TCE sheet, with the metallized spheres that act as conductive pathways from the semiconductor surface, through the polymer matrix, to the electrochemical interface. The rainbow represents the light going through the TCE layer to the semiconductor below. The primary electrochemical reaction used in this work was the first reduction of methyl viologen, as illustrated with the floating chemical structures.
