Abstract

Unlike phase diagrams, which reveal only the chemical equilibrium in a system, starting from Ohm’s law, we constructed chemical-photo-electricity diagrams to display the relationship among materials chemistry, processing conditions of working electrodes, and photo-current/voltage of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). We derived new equations that quantify the above relationship by using the DSSC with Ni-doped TiO2 solid solution as an example. The same principles and procedures can be applied to construct chemical-photo-electricity diagrams for other solid solutions in not only photo-voltaic like solar cells but also general optoelectronic and electrochemistry research. Besides being a practical tool, these diagrams may also provide opportunities for a new theory that quantitatively couples chemistry with photo-electricity in semiconductors.
