Popis: Treatment of nanocrystalline TiO2 films with tannins and related phenolic substances produces Ti4+-tannin or Ti4+-phenol charge transfer complexes firmly bonded to the surface of TiO2 crystallites. Efficient photosensitization originating from the complexes generates high photocurrents in a photoelectrochemical cell.
