Electronic Selectivity

What nanoreactor design rules result in effective electronic charge separation from discrete photon absorption events besides band bending?

Thrust A Goals

(i) Use operando correlative multimodal microscopies, reveal charge separation mechanisms

(ii) Determine the influence of discrete photoinduced events on steady-state water splitting reactivity

Methods and Approaches

  • Density functional theory of band structure
  • Solid-state physics transport models
  • Nanometer-scale probing of materials surfaces and interfaces
  • Nanoreactor-level characterization of photophysical and electrical properties
