Surface modification of n-Si(111) electrodes with brominated and sulfonylated alkyl chains and their photoelectrochemical characteristics
Bromination of alkenyl-chain-covered n-Si(III) electrodes and their consecutive sulfonylation were demonstrated, and the effects of these functionalization on the photoelectrochemical characteristics were studied in 7.6 M HI + 0.05 M I-2 electrolyte under simulated solar illumination.
