The cell showed a dark rectifying effect and presented photovoltaic properties on illumination, which was illustrated by the charge distribution in the cell. It was suggested mat the SnO2/chla junction might be responsible for photovoltage and the chla/ PVA for the charge separation upon irradiation of visible light. The equivalent electric circuit was discussed and its equivalent component values were calculated.展开更多
