Final Remarks

The research detailed in this Dissertation is focused on understanding interfacial electron transfer at semiconductor-electrolyte interfaces. Electron transport within TiO2, SnO2, and core/shell semiconductors is also investigated. Through many spectroelectrochemical

22

experiments, I have gained better understanding of the influence that ALD, surface bound molecules, and electrolyte composition have on the thermodynamics and kinetics of interfacial electron transfer.
