Photovoltage improvement for dye-sensitized solar cells

, 2011
The efficiency improvement of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) is critical for their commercialization and replacement of traditional silica solar cells. Generally, the energy conversion efficiency of DSCs is determined by the short-circuit photocurrent,
