Abstract

A digital simulation of the photoprocess at a semiconductor electrode is described. The simulation model accounts for photogeneration, recombination, and transport of excess free carriers within the semiconductor phase. The origin of the photopotential in the absence of faradaic current is elucidated. Quantitative current efficiency‐potential curves for the photocurrents under a variety of conditions are calculated for n‐type and these are compared to experimental results.
