FILM PHOTOELECTRODES

摘要

FILM PHOTOELECTRODES Photoactive n-type and p-type semiconductor film electrodes utilizable in photoassisted reactions in photoelectrochemical cells and/or photo-voltaic cells comprising a true solid/solid solution of a specific composition of non-oxide metal compounds which when fired produce a photoactive true solid/solid solution of mixed metal oxides providing an effective band gap and/or optical response optimally matched to the part of the energy spectrum desired for a particular utilization. The photoactive semiconductor film electrodes havea film layer of true solid/solid solution mixed metal oxide disposed upon a suitable substrate in either one or more coats.
