A fresh perspective on the role of band bending, and related contributors, in light-driven production of electricity and chemicals
Abstract
Distributions of net charge, and associated electric fields and potentials, for an equilibrated semiconductor pn-homojunction are identical to those of initial nonequilibrium flux and transport rate for each charged species, if light absorption is uniform in space.
