Abstract
Adding certain adsorbents in conjunction with the sensitizing dye employed in high-efficiency TiO2 nanoparticle solar cells has been shown to increase the photovoltage. It is has been speculated that the increased photovoltage is due to these hydrophobic adsorbents passivating surface states that mitigate the recombination of photoinjected electrons with redox species in the electrolyte. Incollaboration with the DOE Office of Science Program, we are conducting transient-photovoltage measurements to determine the mechanism for the improved photovoltage.
