Nanostructured photoelectrochemical solar cell for nitrogen reduction using plasmon-enhanced black silicon

In nature, nitrogen fixation is achieved via light-dependent nitrogenases, but industrial photochemical conversion of nitrogen into ammonia has so far proven inefficient. Here, the authors describe a nanostructured black silicon photoelectrochemical cell that can catalyse the process using solar ene...
