A inter-grain band bending, eVs, occms as a consequence of smTace phenomena, and a band bending, eVc, occurs at the grain-electrode contact. Eb denotes the minimmn conduction band energy in the bulk tin oxide, and Ep is the Fermi-energy in the electrode metal...

To summarize, the chemistry occurring at the surface of a photo-excited semiconductor is based on the radicals formed from 02, H20, and electron-rich organic compounds. Also note that cations in aqueous solution can be directly reduced by conduction band electrons provided that the redox potentials of these cations are adequate (i.e., lying below the conduction band energy) (6).

Conduction band — Energy band of a solid is an energy interval with a quasicontinuum distribution of allowed energy levels for -> electrons. In a - semiconductor, the lowest unoccupied energy band at T = 0 is denoted conduction band. If the temperature is not zero there is a nonvanishing probability that some electrons will be thermally excited from the - valence band across the energy gap into the lowest unoccupied bands, which are called conduction bands. The thermally excited electrons are conduction electrons.
