Sensitizers are responsible for the light harvesting and the charge injection in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). A fast dye-regeneration process is necessary to obtain highly efficient DSSC devices. Herein, dye-regeneration rates of two DSSC device types, that is, the reduction of immediately formed photo-oxidized sensitizers (ruthenium complex C106TBA and porphyrin LD14, k(ox)) by iodide ions (I-) and [Co(bpy)(3)](2+), and the oxidation of formed photo-reduced sensitizers (organic dye P1, k(re)) by triiodide ions (I-3(-)) and the disulfide dimer (T-2) are investigated by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). We provide a thorough experimental verification of the feedback mode to compare the kinetics for dye-regeneration by using the above mentioned mediators. The charge recombination at the dye/semiconductor/electrolyte interface is further investigated by SECM. A theoretical model is applied to interpret the current response at the tip under short-circuit conditions, providing important information on factors that govern the dynamics of dye-regeneration onto the dye-sensitized heterojunction.
