요약A confluence of factors including climate change and national energy security necessitate a shift from fossil fuels to renewable sources. One of the most attractive methods is the conversion of sunlight into chemical fuels, called solar energy conversion. This dissertation advances the fundamental photophysical properties of the molecules and materials involved in two applications of solar energy conversion: dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (DSPECs) and silicon-based hybrid photoelectrodes.Chapter 1 describes the photophysical properties of ruthenium polypyridyl complexes-common chromophores in DSPECs-and the semiconductor photophysics which underpin silicon hybrid photoelectrodes.In Chapter 2, excited-state quenching studies in acetonitrile and acetone is used to study the effect of solvent polarity on the Coulombic attraction between iodide and a ruthenium complex decorated with aldehyde groups. Decreased solvent dielectric in acetone solution was shown to induce stronger association, increasing the equilibrium constant by an order of magnitude compared to acetonitrile, as measured by 1H NMR titration assays. The increased degree of association manifested in an increased contribution of static quenching.Chapter 3 leverages time-resolved infrared spectroscopy to understand the excited state behavior of chloride associated with ruthenium polypyridyl complexes decorated with amide groups in dichloromethane. In such complexes, the ground state equilibrium for chloride association was large ~107 M-1. Following laser excitation, the photoluminescence initially resembles the complex with chloride associated but evolves over time indicating photodissociation ("photo-release"). The time-resolved infrared spectra support an increase in the hydrogen bonding as a function of time. A model is proposed in which chloride migrates orthogonally to the plane of the bipyridine ligand in response to the excited-state dipole.Chapter 4 compares three fabrication methods for a silicon/silicon dioxide (Si/SiOx) passivation layer in silicon hybrid photoelectrodes: native oxide, chemically grown oxide, and thermal oxide, grown by rapid thermal annealing. Through time-resolved infrared spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry, the rapid thermal annealing was identified as the optimal interface, possessing good electron transfer to a solution mediator, long lifetimes, and reduced surface trap state densities.Collectively, these findings deepen our understanding of molecular and interfacial photophysics, guiding the design of more efficient systems for solar-to-chemical energy conversion.
