A positive photocurrent arising from the photoreduction of ZnTPPC4- was significantly enhanced by adding Au-NPs. The photocurrent enhancement was dependent on the concentration of Au-NPs, the excitation wavelength, and the polarization angle of the excitation light, respectively. The results demonstrated that Au-NPs act as effective photoreaction catalysts at the liquid|liquid interface., Electrochemistry Communications, 13(9), pp.985-988; 2011}, pages = {985--988}, title = {Gold nanoparticles-enhanced photocurrent at a dye-sensitized liquid|liquid interface}, volume = {13}, year = {2011} }
