摘要
The height of the Schottky barrier at a CdS electrode in contact with various redox electrolytes has been measured at electronic equilibrium and the open-circuit photovoltage, Voc, has been found being linearly related to this quantity at constant illumination intensity. The photocurrent-voltage curves of such redox electrolyte junctions with CdS, n-GaAs and n-MoSe2 electrodes have been studied as a function of the light intensity which was varied over three orders of magnitude. The photocurrent of such electrochemical solar cells is at the open-circuit voltage compensated by the forward current through the junction. Its magnitude in comparison to the saturation current gives information on whether the recombination or the forward current controls Voc. The application of such studies for the evaluation of electrochemical solar cells is discussed. © 1979.
