Dye sensitization of single crystal semiconductor electrodes

Accounts of Chemical Research
Mark T Spitler, B A Parkinson

Abstract

Even though investigations of dye-sensitized nanocrystalline semiconductors in solar cells has dominated research on dye-sensitized semiconductors over the past two decades, single crystal electrodes represent far simpler model systems for studying the sensitization process with a continuing train of studies dating back more than 40 years. Even today single crystal surfaces prove to be more controlled experimental models for the study of dye-sensitized semiconductors than the nanocrystalline substrates. This Account analyzes the scientific advances in the model sensitized single crystal systems that preceded the introduction of nanocrystalline semiconductor electrodes. It then follows the single crystal research to the present, illustrating both their striking simplicity of use and clarity of interpretation relative to nanocrystalline electrodes. Researchers have employed many electrochemical, photochemical, and scanning probe techniques for studying monolayer quantities of sensitizing dyes at specific crystallographic faces of different semiconductors. These methods include photochronocoulometry, electronic spectroscopy, and flash photolysis of dyes at potential-controlled semiconductor electrodes and the use of total internal...Continue Reading
