Abstract

This paper deals with the current transport mechanism of solid state photoelectrochemical cells of ITO/TiO2/PVC–LiClO4/graphite as well as the physical properties of a component of a device affecting its performance. The principle of operation and a schematic energy level diagram for the materials used in the photoelectrochemical cells are presented. The device makes use of ITO films, TiO2 films, PVC–LiClO4 and graphite films as photoanode, photovoltaic material, solid electrolyte and counter electrode, respectively. The device shows rectification. The Jsc and Voc obtained at 100 mW cm−2 were 0.95 μAcm−2 and 180 mV, respectively.
