TL;DR: In this article, a change of focus of the current research on ZnO-based DSCs (from morphology to surface control) is suggested and the origin of this striking difference in performance is analyzed and discussed with the perspective of future applications of ZnOs in dye-sensitized solar cells and related devices.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a comprehensive and complementary characterization of perovskite solar cells by using an array of small-perturbation techniques: EIS and intensity-modulated photocurrent and photovoltage spectroscopy (IMPS/IMVS).

TL;DR: In this article, the photovoltaic performance of ZnO-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) has been studied for three different configurations involving two dyes and two types of electrolytes with the iodide/iodine as redox mediator.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral dependence of the photogenerated current of opal-based solar cells was investigated. But the spectral properties of opals were not investigated. And they showed that a dye-sensitized nanocrystalline titanium oxide electrode moulded in the shape of an inverse opal shows a decrease of efficiency for the spectral region in which a photonic stop band opens up.

TL;DR: A method to improve the stability of perovskite solar cells under water and moisture exposure consisting of the encapsulation of the cell with an ultrathin plasma polymer is reported, which opens up a new promising strategy to develop stable photovoltaic and photocatalytic perovkite devices.
