68. Obtained by first solving the continuity equation for a TiO2 thick polymer bilayer geometry assuming exciton diffusion length of Ld and Beer's law generation rate profile, and then by taking the slope of the steady-state exciton concentration profile at the TiO2 polymer interface, which gives the photocurrent density. EQE is the photocurrent density divided by the incident photon flux.
