Abstract
An optoelectronic device is disclosed. The device comprises one or more modified photocatalytic units, and a semiconductor surface. The modified photocatalytic unit is attached to the semiconductor surface such that when light is absorbed by the photocatalytic unit, an electric field is generated at sufficient amount to induce charge carrier locomotion within the semiconductor. In some embodiments a plurality of photocatalytic unit is attached to the semiconductor surface in oriented manner. The optoelectronic device can be operative in dry environment.
