Studies of Photoelectrochemical Phenomena at Semiconductor- electrolyte Interfaces by in situ FTIR Spectroscopy

女性研究计划助学金由化学系颁发给克利夫兰州立大学化学系的莉莉·M·吴博士。利用原位傅里叶变换红外反射衰减全反射光谱(FTIR-ATR)研究半导体-电解液界面上的化学现象。在计划期间，将在光伏和光辅助催化实验中研究一氧化碳、二氧化碳、醋酸盐、氨、乙腈、甲醇和硫脲在硅电极、镍或铂修饰电极和镉电极表面的吸附情况。该项目与开发更高效的光电池有关。

This award in the Research Planning Grant for women program is made by the Chemistry Division to Dr. Lily M. Ng of the Chemistry Department, Cleveland State University. Chemical phenomena on semiconductor-electrolyte interfaces will be studied using in situ Fourier transform infrared reflection - attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy. During the planning period, adsorption of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acetate, ammonium, acetonitrile, methanol and thiourea on the surfaces of silicon electrodes, Ni or Pt modified electrodes, and CdTe electrodes will be investigated during photovoltaic and photoassisted catalytic experiments. This project is relevant to the development of more efficient photocells.
