Abstract :
Indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes modified chemically with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of C60-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide-C60 triad have been designed for the first time to act as an efficient light-to-current converter in molecular devices. The monolayers were characterized using UV–Vis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Photoelectrochemical measurement of the SAMs of C60-Perylenetetracarboxylic diimide-C60/ITO indicated prompt, steady, and reproducible photocurrent generation when irradiated by white light.
