Abstract

We have shown that an anion radical of C60 (C60•−) is readily formed in a nitrobenzene (NB) solution containing tetraphenylborate by solar-light irradiation. Applying this photochemical reaction of C60, we examined a voltammetric behavior of C60•− by using an electron conductor separating oil-water (ECSOW) system consisting of NB and water (W) phases. Based on the behavior, we can successfully attain spontaneous generation of hydrogen gas in a photovoltaic cell with NB and W phases.
