摘要
The open-circuit photovoltage is improved by adding 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide （HMImI） into the electrolyte. To investigate the mechanisms of the increase of the open-circuit photovoltage, we take the MottSchottky analysis and time-resolved mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy to study the band edge movement of TiO2 and the rate of back electron transfer, respectively. The results indicate that the negative shift of the conduction band of TiO2 is a predominant factor to increase the open-circuit photovoltage for the electrolyte containing HMImI,
