Abstract
Photoelectrochemical cells and methods are provided, in particular, to the functionalization of semiconductor surfaces such that its semiconducting and light generating properties are maintained and the surface becomes stable in wet environments. In particular the preferred embodiments relate to unstable semiconductor materials which have photocurrent generating properties, and to methods for the functionalization of surfaces with metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs).
