Abstract

The photoelectrochemical behaviors of the TiO 2 nanostructured porous film sensitized by cyanine dye were investigated in this paper.The results showed that the excitaed state level matched the conduction band edge of TiO 2 nanoparticle.Therefore the sensitization of the dye can increase the photocurrent intensity of the TiO 2 nanostructured electrode obviously and results in a red-shift of optical absorption from the ultra_violet region to the visible.As a result,the light_to _electricity conversion efficiency was improved evidently,the maximum value of IPCE has reached 12.1%.
