Non-linear Electron Transport Kinetics in Nanocrystalline TiO(2) Based Solar Cells

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

An analytical model describing electron transport in dye-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO(2) solar cells is shown to account for the non-linear dependence of the electron transport rate on the electron concentration. Equations relating the influenece of an exponential distribtuion of surface states to electron transport are derived and verified by intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopymeasurements. A slope of 69 meV is inferred for the surface-state distribution curve.
