Characterization of Synthetic Ni(II)-Xylenol Complex as a Photosensitizer for Wide-Band Gap ZnO Semiconductor Electrodes

A synthetic NiIIL(H2O)2 complex (L = xylenol orange, 3,3′-bis [N,N-di(carboxymethyl)-aminomethyl]-o-cresol sulphonapthalein (H2O)2), which is a water-soluble dye, has been studied for its photosensitizing properties at n-ZnO semiconductor electrodes prepared by sol-gel techniques. The absorption sp...
