Patent ID: 8723026

Claim:
A photocurrent generation device having a nano-composite coaxial cable structured for photocurrent production, comprising: a plurality of stacks located between and oriented substantially perpendicular to at least one first electrode and at least one second electrode to enable photocurrent to flow through the stacks, each stack having an outer p-channel and an inner n-channel to provide a charge transport for photocurrent between the first and second electrodes; said outer p-channel including a plurality of macrocyclic π-conjugated planar molecules stacked to form the outer p-channel of the nano-composite coaxial cable and having an axial channel therein; and said inner n-channel including a plurality of C60 molecules positioned within the axial channel of the stack to form the inner n-channel, the plurality of stacks forming an ordered heterojunction to provide charge transport of photocurrent in the photocurrent generation device.
