We report here new types of suprastructure products consisting of C60-ethylenediamine microparticles and silver nanoparticles that were loaded onto the surfaces of the microparticles by electrostatic adsorption. The suprastructure products could be deposited on the surface of an indium tin oxide electrode by electrostatic deposition. These modified electrodes generated cathodic photocurrents in the presence of ascorbic acid and oxygen. The photocurrent generation behavior implies an ensemble of the electron-transfer processes of silver-nanoparticle-mediated electron transfer acting in the cathodic direction and plasmon-induced charge separation acting in the anodic direction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
