What is the significance of the negative and positive shifts in the flat band potential?

Dear all, I would like to know about the significance of the negative (cathodic) and positive (anodic) shifts in the flat band potential, in the case of the photoelectrodes. How do these shifts...

Why does sometimes the photo-current in an photo-electrode keep increasing instead of decreasing on illumination?

When an electrode made of semiconductor nanotubes/nanowires etc is illuminated an overshoot or transient maximum in the photocurrent is observed. The photocurrent gradually exponentially decreases...

Why does a current flow in a three electrode conventional electrochemical cell (like in CH Instruments or Auto Lab potentiostat)at 0V vs Ag/AgCl?

A current flow can be observed in the current vs. time (i-t) measurements albeit the applied bias is 0V vs. Ag/AgCl, in a conventional three electrodes system (consisting of the working electrode,...
