| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, it has been found that hydrogen evolving reaction proceeds even under bias-free condition in our molecular-based photoelectrochemical cell, which consists of the TiO2 photoanode modified with a polypyridyl ruthenium complex sensitizer and the TiO2 cathode modified with a platinum porphyrin hydrogen evolving catalyst, upon visible light irradiation only to the photoanode. We have successfully elucidated the origin of the electromotive force required to flow electrons from the anode to the cathode in our photoelectrochemical cell.
