Dye-sensitized solar cells: A brief overview

TL;DR: In this paper, a short and simple overview of dye-sensitized solar cell technology from the working principles to the first commercial applications is given, emphasizing the role of the sensitizer and strategies to improve the performances of the dye as well as some recent development aiming to answer specific issues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dye-Sensitized Core−Shell Nanocrystals: Improved Efficiency of Mesoporous Tin Oxide Electrodes Coated with a Thin Layer of an Insulating Oxide

TL;DR: In this paper, different methods for coating SnO2 nanocrystals with a thin layer of an insulating oxide were compared, and the best results were obtained by adding a soluble metal salt.
Journal ArticleDOI

Translucent thin film Fe2O3 photoanodes for efficient water splitting by sunlight: nanostructure-directing effect of Si-doping.

TL;DR: The morphology of the alpha-Fe2O3 was strongly influenced by the silicon doping, decreasing the feature size of the mesoscopic film, and the best performing photoanode would yield a solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 2.1% in a tandem device using two dye-sensitized solar cells in series.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum dot sensitization of organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells

TL;DR: A high surface area pn-heterojunction between TiO2 and an organic p-type charge transport material (spiro-OMeTAD) was sensitized to visible light using lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dots as mentioned in this paper.
