Abstract:

Transient photovoltaic technology(TRP) and surface photovoltaic spectrum(SPS) were used for studying the photogenerated charge of nano-ZnO. The results show that when the time domain of TRP range of 10-9—10-7 and 10-6—10-3 s, the photovoltage response of SPS appears in range of 320—380 nm. But when time domain is range of 10-3—10-1 s, the photovoltage appears in range of 380—420 nm. The three time domains of TRP were belonged to intrinsic transition of nanocrystals, the charge transfer between nanocrystals and surface-state trapping of nanocrystals, respectively. If the intensity of photocharge was large enough or an exexternal electric field was used, then the photovoltage also appeared in range of 300—320 nm.
