An electrode development was needed
with high efficiency and low costs as next generation solar cells. We attempted
the electrode fabrication for a photoelectrochemical cell by immobilizing
functional groups on a n-Si(111) surface. The immobilization was applied by
hydrosilylation terminated with ester (hydrophobic) or carbonyl (hydrophilic)
group. Results confirmed the immobilization on the Si surface by measuring
ATR-FTIR and XPS.
