Chapter 6 Conclusions and Perspectives
6.2 Perspectives
The electron collection and dye-loading area (light harvesting) is the most important tasks of photoanode electrode (PE) to make a high efficiency cell.
However, these two tasks are trade-off missions. The thinner thickness of PE has better electron collection, and the thicker thickness one has the larger surface area to anchor the dye molecular for improving the light harvesting. And the film quality of PE is also a main issue to affect the electron collection efficiency. So, at this stage, the PE with unique optical structure, such as photonic crystal structure or surface plasma enhanced structure, to minimize the film thickness and to hugely increase the light harvesting may be the next research topic.
