• ratio (3:0, 3:1, 3:2, 3:3) showed a lower energy gap and HOMO–LUMO energy levels compared to pure TiO2. This implies that TiO2 provides not only a larger surface area for sensitizer adsorption and good electron collection, but also causes a shift of the imine energy levels resulting from intermolecular

• experiment. Discussion The initial estimate, which due to the extended aromatic system of the ligand Al(Op)3 should be characterized by lower HOMO/LUMO energy levels as compared to Alq3, has been proven by experimental and theoretical methods. The HOMO/LUMO energy levels of Al(Op)3 are: −5.93 and −3.26 eV

• experimental, −5.71 and −2.42 eV theoretical in vacuum and −5.41 and −2.22 eV theoretical in the assumed amorphous film. The HOMO/LUMO energy levels of Alq3 are: −5.83 and −3.01 eV experimental, −5.14 and −1.91 eV theoretical in vacuum and −5.07 and −1.80 eV theoretical in the assumed amorphous film. As a
