Silicone coated glass

Numerous laboratory and plant tests have been made in coils constructed of materials with nickel- or iron-free surfaces e.g., quartz glass, silicon-coated and aluminum-coated steels, or ceramics. Filamentous coke was often completely absent, and the overall levels of coking were much reduced. Furthermore, the coking rates were essentially identical during the entire pyrolysis run. 

Assuming that an efficient D-A type of molecule can be synthesized, it should be possible to deposit these molecules as a monolayer onto a glass slide coated with a metal such as aluminum or a wide bandgap semiconductor such as Sn(>2. With the acceptor end of the molecule near the conductor and with contact to the other side via an electrolyte solution it should be possible to stimulate electron transfer from D to A and then into the conductor, through an external circuit and finally back to D through the electrolyte. This would form the basis of a new type of solar cell in which the layer of D-A molecules would perform the same function as the p-n junction in a silicon solar cell (50). Only the future will tell whether or not this concept will be feasible but if nature can do it, why can t we ...
