Nanostructured Semiconductor Materials for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Table 7

Parameters of the t-DSC differing for the combination of the nanostructured electrodes and corresponding dye-sensitizers. The redox shuttle is represented by the couple if not otherwise indicated. The photoanodic material is mesoporous TiO₂. The t-DSC is illuminated from the side of the n-electrode (TiO₂ photoanode).
