•The polyoxometalates (POMs) sensitized solar cell (PSSC) was studied firstly.•It is breakthrough to put forward that POMs export electrons under irradiation.•The energy level and band gap were investigated for the POMs base sensitizer.
Keggin-type polyoxometalates (POMs) based photosensitizer [(CH3)4N]5[PW11O39RhCH2COOH]∙6H2O (PW11Rh-COOH) was firstly explored for assembling the POMs sensitized solar cells (PSSC). Electrochemical measurement, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectrum, Surface photovoltage spectrum, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated that PW11Rh-COOH displayed higher photovoltaic response than that of other POMs because of the better visible-light response, energy level matching and higher carrier separation efficiency.
