On the TCO, a (compact) blocking titanium oxide (Ti[O.sub.2.sup.b]) layer is deposited; on the latter, a mesoporous titanium oxide (Ti[O.sub.2.sup.m]) layer is grown as an n-type semiconductor material.
In the system used in the present study, which is calibrated using well-known n-type and p-type silicon, negative PEC signal indicates an n-type semiconductor while positive PEC signal indicates a p-type semiconductor as a result of different directions of band bending in each case.
