The Function of T i O 2 with Respect to Sensitizer Stability in Nanocrystalline Dye Solar Cells

Figure 6

Photodegradation is not detected in photocurrent images of nanocrystalline TiO2 solar cells with bleached electrolyte, which causes significantly decreased photocurrent densities during illumination. All cells are sensitized with N3 dye and were illuminated with simulated solar light in round central areas only. The illumination period was 150 days (3600 hours). The cells were at the end not completely wetted with electrolyte.
