Abstract

The most efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have had essentially the same configuration (nanoparticle TiO₂ sensitized with [Ru(4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-bipyridine)₂(NCS)₂] in contact with I₃^-/I^-) for the last 17 years. In this article we outline the strategies for improving each of the three major photo-relevant components of a DSSC, review literature reports consistent with these strategies and suggest future directions. Finally we explore the potential of future generation DSSCs for advancing energy-conversion performance.
