Single-wall carbon nanotubes as integrative building blocks for solar-energy conversion

Light at the end of the tunnel: Single-wall carbon nanotubes—covalently and noncovalently functionalized with positively and negatively charged groups—associated with porphyrin counterparts are absorbed onto transparent electrodes (see scheme) to yield photochemical devices that exhibit monochromatic power conversion efficiencies of up to 8.5 %.
