Abstract :
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are emerging as one promising solar cell technology. A DSSC consists of transparent conductive substrate, a nano-porous TiO2 nanoparticle photoelectrode, dye, electrolyte, and a counter electrode, which are all crucial on overall cell efficiency. This paper will focus on development of nanostructures for various parts of the devices and novel organic dyes for efficient DSSCs.
