Magnetically Modified Dye Sensitized Solar Cells

摘要

Magnetically modified, dye sensitized, n-type semiconductor electrodes were examined as a case study for magnetic field effects on electron transfer reactions in electrochemical power systems. Magnetic field effects arise through kinetics and mass transport; magnetic fields have negligible influence on system thermodynamics (i.e., no effects on open-circuit potential). Enhancements in the photocurrent response of dye sensitized TiO_2 semiconductor electrodes are observed.
