Theoretical Model of Carrier Flow Process on Boundary of Electrode-Dye Layer
Abstract
The aim of this paper is better understanding of the process of carrier flow generation on the boundary of electrode-dye layer in a photoelectrochemical cell for application in solar energy conversion. Such a boundary of two semispaces is a theoretical two-dimensional model of a photoelectrochemical cell which consists of electrodes and a layer of organic dye molecules in which electron transport process can take place. The semispaces are described in their own microcanonical distributions. We will consider the process of carrier flow generation on the boundary of electrode-dye layer by means of formalism of thermodynamical quantum statistics. We have obtained the statistical average value of the function of electromagnetic field at the given temperature and in approximation of the low temperature.
