The flat band edges (Efb) of nanostructured SrTiO3 electrodes have been determined in propionitrile (PN), acetylacetone (Acac), and PN/Acac with spectroelectrochemistry measurements. Specifically, a very negative Efb was measured when only tetrabutylammonium perchloride (TBAP) was used as supporting electrolyte, while addition of Li+ ions shifts Efb positively. The trap state distribution was investigated by the measurements of time-resolved current. The total trap state densities of 5.51 × 1016, 2.80 × 1016, and 1.83 × 1016 cm−2 were determined in PN, PN/Acac, and Acac (all containing 0.2 mol·L−1 TBAP), respectively, with trap distribution maximum located at −2.4, −1.6, and −1.5 V. The addition of Li+ also reduced the trap state densities, and the total trap state densities were calculated to be 4.19 × 1016, 2.38 × 1016, and 1.19 × 1016 cm−2 in PN, PN/Acac, and Acac (all containing 0.2 mol·L−1 TBAP and 0.5 mol·L−1 LiClO4), respectively. Finally the nanostructured SrTiO3 electrode was sensitized with dye ...
