The Sakata-Hashimoto-Hiramoto model (SHH) has been used for Electron Transfer (ET) on Dye-sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs). Including virtual phase space of trap states into the acceptor phase space which the SHH have considered only the conduction band leads a new ET rate based on the Modified SHH (MSHH). The MSHH is consistent with a recent experimental by highly surface sensitive synchrotron-induced photoelectron spectroscopy, and able to explain maximum performance of DSSCs.
