Abstract

The photoelectrochemical properties of Nafion and montmorillonite (MM) clay coated electrodes confining Ru (bpy)2+3 were studied in the presence of Fe3+ and HClO4. Pt/Nafion-Ru (bpy)2+3 and Pt/MM-Ru (bpy)2+3 electrodes exhibited different photoelectrochemical behavior depending on the coating material. While visible light irradiation at Pt/Nafion-Ru (bpy)2+3 electrode produced anodic photocurrent, Pt/MM-Ru(bpy)2+3 electrode produced cathodic photocurrent. A new photogalvanic cell was constructed using Pt/Nafion-Ru (bpy)2+3 as photoanode and Pt/MM-Ru(bpy)2+3 as photocathode. The irradiation of both the electrodes in the same cell showed additive photoresponse.
