Abstract

The influence of surface recombination on photocurrents at the illuminated semiconductor/electrolyte interface is considered. It is assumed that the surface states are located at a discrete energy in the band gap and that they communicate preferentially with the semiconductor. Expressions for the steady-state and transient photocurrent response are derived, and the effects of band-edge unpinning are discussed.
