← ScienceWithin a dye-sensitized solar cell, which mechanism increases short-circuit current?
A)Electron injection into titanium dioxide✓
B)Hole transport within the electrolyte
C)Recombination from metal oxide surface
D)Dye aggregation causing spectral shifts
💡 Explanation
Increased short-circuit current results from efficient electron generation and injection into the TiO₂ because the Photoelectric Effect results in electrons moving to a higher orbital state in TiO₂, therefore more electrons contribute to the current, rather than being lost due to recombination.
