Upon addition of methanol, a mirror-like gold film is formed and an important enhancement of the photocurrent response can be observed. Intensity modulated photocurrent spectroscopy experiments (IMPS) have been performed, in order to deconvolute in the frequency domain the contribution from the competition between the recombination and the product separation arising after the electron transfer, and the attenuation associated with the resistance and interfacial capacitance (RCint) time constant of the cell.Photoinduced Electron-TransferLiquid/Liquid InterfacesWater/Oil InterfacePorphyrinsMonolayertext::journal::journal article::research article
