26. 0 is the exchange-current density, and J is the current density at a particular potential, V. The applicability of the diode equation to nanoparticle-based dye-sensitized cells has been discussed by Lewis and co-workers (Lee, J.-J.; Coia, G. M.; Lewis, N. S. J. Phys. Chem. B 2004, 108, 5269-5281). When γ = 1, the diode equation yields a large fill factor and the familiar plateau-shaped J - V lineshape.
