Calculation of the vibrationally non-relaxed photo-induced electron transfer rate constant in dye-sensitized solar cells

Abstract

In this paper we shall show how to calculate the single vibronic-level electron-transfer rate constant, which will be compared with the thermal averaged one. To apply the theoretical results to the dye-sensitized solar cells, we use a simple model to describe how we model the final state of the eletron-transfer process. Numerical calculations will be performed to demonstrate the theoretical results.
