Photoelectrochemistry of the Thallic/Thallous Couple

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

<p> Liquid&hyphen;junction photovoltaic and photoelectrosynthetic applications of the thallic/thallous couple have been investigated. In the liquid&hyphen;junction photovoltaic mode the redox couple produces large photovoltages with several semiconductors ( , , , and ), and does not absorb appreciable semiconductor ultra&hyphen;bandgap light. The couple also shows photoelectrosynthetic utility, since the thallic ion is a selective two&hyphen;electron oxidizing agent for a variety of organic substrates. Preliminary work on the photoassisted epoxidation of propylene at n&hyphen;type semiconductor electrodes and powders ( , , and ) is discussed.</p>
