Semiconductor interface

Mesoporous semiconductors have surface defects, named surface states as well, which play significant and different roles in solar energy converstion and storage devices. Understanding the role of surface states of semiconductors is particularly important to tune the properties of mesoporous semiconductors and therefore improve performance of the corresponding devices.
