    Abstract

    We demonstrate up to ∼630-fold enhancement of the photocurrent from a porphyrin monolayer on a plasmonic Ag-array electrode showing plasmon absorption in the Q-band region relative to that on a planar Ag electrode. The photocurrent obtained by the Q-band excitation in the plasmonic electrodes even exceeded that obtained by the Soret-band excitation in a normal, nonplasmonic electrode.
