Abstract

Using a semitransparent metallic electrode covered with a thin film of metal-free phthalocyanine, photoelectrochemical effects have been studied in the electrolyte-pigment-metal system. Measurement of the short-circuit photocurrent, produced by continuous illumination, allows description of a photodependent kinetic phase corresponding to the establishment of a stationary state in the charge separation region of the system after the creation of the current carriers.
