Electron lifetime in quantum-dot-sensitized photoanodes by open-circuit-potential measurements.
Good relations: the electron lifetime (τ) has turned out to be one of the most influential parameters in the performance of quantum-dot- and dye-sensitized solar cells. Different approaches for the analysis of the open-circuit-potential decay are presented, showing the strong effect on the calculated lifetime values of the way of relating potential to electron concentration.
