Yum JH Chen P Grätzel M Nazeeruddin MK 2008 The dye-sensitized solar cell, developed in the 1990s, is a non-conventional solar technology that has attracted much attention owing to its stability, low cost, and device efficiency. Power-conversion efficiencies of over 11% have been achieved for devices that contain liquid electrolytes, whereas solid-state devices that do not require a liquid electrolyte display an overall efficiency of 5%. Improvement of the efficiency of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells requires optimization of their various components, such as the hole-transport material, sensitizer, mesoporous TiO2 film, and the blocking layer. This Minireview highlights the current state of the art and future directions of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cell technology. https://sonar.ch/global/documents/102355 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1002/cssc.200800084 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/18686289 ChemSusChem. - 2008 Coloring Agents Electrons Light Semiconductors Solar Energy Surface Properties Recent developments in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
