Ultrafast studies of electron injection in Ru dye sensitized SnO2 nanocrystalline thin film by Christophe Bauer, Gerrit Boschloo, Emad Mukhtar, Anders Hagfeldt

“…By using two-color femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, we have measured the electron injection rate for bis(tetrabutylammonium) cis di(thiocyanato) bis (2,2’-bypiridine-4,4’ carboxylic acid)Ruthenium (II) dye (called N719) into SnO2 nanocrystalline thin films. The electron injection rate has been measured by monitoring the formation of the dye oxidized state and the arrival of electrons in the conduction band. …”
