Short circuit photocurrent

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010826",
  "term": "Short circuit photocurrent",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The electric current generated by a photovoltaic device when its terminals are connected directly, resulting in zero voltage across the device. This current is produced by the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs under illumination. It is a key parameter for characterizing the performance of solar cells and other photodetectors.",
