Which outcome occurs when applying an electric field on dye-sensitized TiO2 solar cells?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced electron injection efficiency occurs because the applied electric field reduces the energy barrier, allowing electrons in the excited dye LUMO to more readily tunnel into the TiO2 conduction band; therefore, dye regeneration proceeds efficiently, rather than electron-hole recombination dominating.
