{Ni₄O₄} Cluster Complex to Enhance the Reductive Photocurrent Response on Silicon Nanowire Photocathodes.

Metal organic {Ni₄O₄} clusters, known oxidation catalysts, have been shown to provide a valuable route in increasing the photocurrent response on silicon nanowire (SiNW) photocathodes. {Ni₄O₄} clusters have been paired with SiNWs to form a new photocathode composite for water splitting. Under AM1.

NiO Nanofibers as a Candidate for a Nanophotocathode.

-type NiO nanofibers have been synthesized from a simple electrospinning and sintering procedure. For the first time, -type nanofibers have been electrospun onto a conductive fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) surface. The properties of the NiO nanofibers have been directly compared to that of bulk NiO nanopowder.
