The sum of ionization energy and electron affinity for aromatic hydrocarbon molecules is constant and therefore the Fermi level for intrinsic aromatic hydrocarbon crystals is in first approximation independent of the nature of the hydrocarbon. This relationship leads in turn to a constant value for the flat band potential of aromatic hydrocarbon crystals in contact with an electrolyte. An estimate of this value is given.

Modification of several semiconductors material surfaces with H4SiW12O40•nH2O have been carried out to produce an increase in the open circuit photopotential at the semiconductor/electrolyte interface (Voc) without changing the flat-band potential. The augmentation of Voc is shown to be attributed to a decrease of the minority carriers recombination at the semiconductor/electrolyte interface along with the suppression of Fermi level pinning. The enhancement of Voc and the electrocatalytic activity of the hydrogen evolution reaction in acidic medium of the derivatized electrodes is attributed to the Fermi level unpinning. Keywords: photoelectrodes, photoelectrocatalysis, pinning, modification improvement.

Electronic levels and energies of a solid, such as Fermi level, vacuum level, work function, ionization energy or electron affinity, are of paramount importance for the control of device behavior, charge carrier injection and transport.

AbstractThe bonding character of liquid lead telluride \text{PbTe} is thermodynamically investigated in detail. Its possibility as an ionic melt composed of cation {\text{Pb}}^{2+} and anion {\text{Te}}^{2-} is not acceptable, by comparing the ionization energy of \text{Pb} atom, electron affinity of \text{Te} atom and the ionic bonding energy due to the cation {\text{Pb}}^{2+} and anion {\text{Te}}^{2-} with the help of structural information. Solid lead telluride PbTe as a narrow band gap semiconductor might yield easily the overlapping of the tail of valence band and that of conduction one. And on melting, it becomes to an ill-conditioned metallic state, which concept is supported by the electrical behaviors of liquid Pb–Te alloys observed by the present authors. As structural information tells us about the partial remain of some sorts of covalent-type mono-dipole and poly-dipole of the molecule \text{PbTe}, all systems are thermodynamically explained in terms of a mixture of these molecules and cations {\text{Pb}}^{4+} and {\text{Te}}^{2+} and a small amount of the conduction electrons are set free from these elements based on the ternary solution model.
