Strontium titanate (SrTiO3) is another wide bandgap semiconductor that has been investigated for use in dyesensitized solar cells. Depending on morphology and pHthe conduction band of SrTiO3 lies around -.2 V vs. SHE.What energies for the HOMO and LUMO of a sensitizingdye would you specify for electron injection into the conduction band of strontium titanate and for water oxidationby the radical cation formed by photoexcitation?
