A photoelectrode featuring an organic p/n bilayer was used to generate H2from H+, where n-type fullerene (C60) was used in combination with p-type zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc). When a Pt catalyst was loaded on the surface of C60in the organo-photoelectrode, a photocathodic current was successfully generated via H2evolution at the Pt-coated C60surface. On the basis of the results of action spectral measurements for photocurrent, the H2evolution appeared to be induced over the entire visible-light wavelength range of <750 nm. In particular, the visible-light absorption of ZnPc/C60bilayer efficiently contributed to carrier generation, consequently leading to the H2evolution at the C60surface via reducing power generated through a series of photophysical events within the bilayer.
