Polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) has received extensive attention in suspension photocatalysis, whereas the preparation of high-quality PCN film is still at an initial stage, limiting its practical application photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems. Herein, integrated molten and vapor condensation route realized using small molecule precursors dicyandiamide (DCDA) thiourea (TU) to form photoelectrode...

We present a thorough soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study of mesoporous titanium dioxide electrode sensitized with the dye 4-(diphenylamino)phenylcyanoacrylic acid, referred to as “L0.” Supported by calculations, suite XPS, absorption spectroscopy, and resonant allows us examine bonding interactions between surface frontier electronic structure at molecule–oxide interface. While p...
