Abstract

Grain wiring: Functionalized single-wall carbon nanotube wiring between the nanograins of porphyrin (donor)-C60 (acceptor) dyads results in efficient charge transport between them, leading to the highest incident photon-to-current efficiency (22 %) ever reported for analogous photoelectrochemical devices utilizing donor-acceptor linked dyads.
