Abstract
Enhanced photocurrent in dye_sensitized photoelectrochemical cell was obtained by post_treating the TiO 2 nanoporous film electrode with TiCl 4. By investigating the effect of the post_treatment on surface area, pore size distribution, laser pulse induced current transient of the film electrode, photocurrent increase by the post_treatment was assigned to the improved electron percolation resulting from broadening of interparticle neck.
