Abstract

The adsorption 2-anthroic acid on titania has been shown to result in an interfacial charge transfer band, which makes this a promising interface for dye-sensitized solar cells with direct injection. Here, we model the adsorption of 2-anthroic acid on a TiO2 nanocluster exhibiting a (101)-like interface and compute light absorption properties of this system using for the first time a hybrid functional. The band alignment and the formation of interfacial charge transfer bands proposed in previous experimental and lower-level computational works are confirmed.
