19. 2 electrode as the dye cation yield (as observed from the initial magnitude of absorption transients in Fig. 3) is independent of the polymer electrolyte employed.
20. We note the deviation from model calculations in Fig. 4 is observed even at low light intensities confirming these deviations can not result from series resistance losses.
