摘要
Investigation of the photosensitization of single-crystal TiO2 by [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 (where bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) has revealed the existence of a slow-rise-time cathodic photocurrent in addition to the fast-rise-time anodic photocurrent reported by Clark and Sutin. Phenomenological analysis of the experiment provides a satisfactory quantitative explanation based on a modulation of an ongoing dark current by energy transfer from the dye to the solid. Two new experiments and an extensive literature implicate surface O2- ions as the molecular species responsible for the slow kinetics. Some implications of these results for the photoelectrolysis of water by sunlight are also indicated. © 1979 American Chemical Society.
