← ScienceWhich outcome governs the rate of electron transfer in a dye-sensitized solar cell under illumination?
A)Fermi-Dirac distribution in the TiO2
B)Marcus theory's electron tunneling rate✓
C)Nernst potential at the electrolyte interface
D)Debye length within the semiconductor
💡 Explanation
When a dye molecule absorbs light, it injects an electron into the TiO2; the rate of subsequent electron transfer is governed by Marcus theory, which describes the electron tunneling rate based on the reorganization energy and driving force. Therefore, Marcus theory determines the electron injection rate, rather than equilibria, thermodynamic property, or distribution.
