A Method For Controlling A Work Function Of At Least One Surface, Electrode, Electrochemical Cell Energy Storage Device, Photovoltaic Cell And Electrical Component Thereof

Abstract: The present disclosure relates inter alia to a method for controlling a work function of at least one surface comprising: measuring a first work function of a first surface; depositing a chiral system on the first surface to cause change in the first work function; applying a potential difference between the first surface and a second surface, such that to create a charge transfer between the first and second surfaces; measuring a second work function of the first surface carrying the chiral system; wherein the second work function is lower than the first work function. The interaction between the chiral system and the first surface is configured for causing charge rearrangement, spin polarization of the surface, and spin polarization of electrons being injected from or to the first surface, thereby modifying the work function of the first surface. The present disclosure also relates to electrodes, electrochemical cells, energy storage devices, photovoltaic cells, and electrical components, thereof.
