Abstract: | TiO_2 nanoparticles modified with composite nanoclusters of 9-mesityl-10-carboxymethylacridinium ion (Mes–Acr^+–COOH) and fullerene (C_<60>) in acetonitrile/toluene (3 : 1, v/v) were deposited as thin films on nanostructured SnO_2 electrode using an electrophoretic technique. The composite TiO_2 films have broad as well as high absorbance properties, exhibiting photoactive response under visible light excitation using I_3^–/I^– redox couple as compared with the reference multilayer films composed of the single component. This indicates that the composite cluster TiO_2 film based on 9-mesityl-10-carboxymethylacridinium ion and fullerene harvests light widely in the visible region due to organization of the supramolecular assembly. In the case of a monolayer system of TiO_2 nanocrystallites modified with Mes–Acr^+–COOH, however, no net photocurrent is observed in the photocurrent action spectrum. This indicates that TiO_2 nanoparticles act as materials to organize composite molecules rather than as those to accept electrons. An incident photon-to-photocurrent generation efficiency (IPCE) of 37% has been achieved at an applied bias potential of 0.2 V vs. SCE in the Mes–Acr^+–COOH/C_<60> composite system using TiO_2 nanoparticles. |
