Control of Charge Recombination Dynamics in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells by the Use of Conformally Deposited Metal Oxide Blocking Layers
TL;DR: It is found that the most basic overlayer coating, Al2O3 (pzc = 9.2), is optimal for retarding interfacial recombination losses under negative applied bias, and shows good correlation with current/voltage analyses of dye sensitized solar cell fabricated from these films.
