The photoelectrochemical behavior of the TiO₂ nanocrystalline electrode sensitized by Cy3 (novel squarylium cyanine dye) was studied.The ground state level and the excited state level of the dye were determined by means of cyclic voltammetry and optical absorption spectroscopy.The results showed that the excited state level of this dye matches the conduction band edge of TiO₂ nanoparticles.Therefore the sensitization of TiO₂ nanocrystalline electrode with the dye can obviously increase the photocurrent density and result in a red-shift of optical absorption from the ultra-violet region to the visible region.As a result,the light-to-electricity conversion efficiency was greatly improved and the maximum value of IPCE reached 22.9% and η was 1.37% when the TiO₂ nanostructured porous film was 6.5 μm thick and was sensitized for 4 h.The values above mentioned could be improved to 29.0% and 1.51% after the sensitized electrode was treated with methanol.
