The photogalvanic effect (PGE) occurring in noncentrosymmetric materials enables the generation of a dc photocurrent at zero bias with a high polarization sensitivity, which makes it very attractive in photodetection. However, the magnitude…
Heterostructures (HSs) formed by the transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) materials have shown great promise in next-generation optoelectronic and photonic applications. An artificially twisted HS, allows us to manipulate the optical,…
We discuss the key principles of artificial photosynthesis for photovoltaic energy conversion. We demonstrate these principles by examining the operation of the so-called "dye sensitized solar cell" (DSSC) - a photoelectrochemical device…
The conversion of light into free electron-hole pairs constitutes the key process in the fields of photodetection and photovoltaics. The efficiency of this process depends on the competition of different relaxation pathways and can be…
The clean production of hydrogen as a zero-emission fuel can be done using photocatalysis, with TiO2 being one of the most promising photocatalysts. However, the activity of TiO2 anatase and rutile phases is still limited. In this study, an…
Photovoltaic solar cell is one of the main renewable energy sources, and its power conversion efficiency (PCE) is improved by employing doping or heterojunction to reduce the photogenerated carrier recombination. Here, we propose a…
In order to reveal the relaxation mechanism of photogenerated charge-transfer excitations in quasi-one-dimensional halogen-bridged diplatinum complexes, we calculate the low-lying adiabatic potential energy surfaces of a one-dimensional…

The mechanism of electron-hole separation in organic solar cells is currently hotly debated. Recent experimental work suggests that these charges can separate on extremely short timescales (<100 fs). This can be understood in terms of…
Photocatalytic water splitting has greatly stimulated as an ideal technique for producing hydrogen (H$_{2}$) fuel by employing two renewable sources, i.e., water and solar energy. Here, we have adopted a facile hydrothermal approach for the…
Understanding the dynamics of photoexcited carriers is essential for advancing photoelectronic device design. Photon absorption generates electron-hole pairs, and subsequent scatterings can induce ultrafast thermalization within a…
Charge separation in light-harvesting complexes occurs in a pair of tightly coupled chlorophylls at the heart of photosynthetic reaction centers of both plants and bacteria. Recently it has been shown that quantum coherence can, in…
