"Effect of Molecular Structure on Interfacial Electron Transfer Kinetic" by Inseong Cho and Attila J. Mozer
The factors affecting electron transfer at semiconductor electrodes sensitised with molecules and in contact with redox electrolytes have been studied for decades. Here, the influence of molecular structural factors enhancing or slowing down electron transfer rates at dye-sensitised electrode interfaces are analysed by Marcus theory. Back electron transfer between TiO2 electrons and oxidised redox mediators are slowed down by reducing electronic coupling using alkyl chains or by minimising attra...
