Promising efficiency enhancement in cobalt redox couple-based back-illuminated dye-sensitized solar cells with titanium foil substrate

We demonstrate that a [Co(bpy)3]2+/3+ (PF6)2/3 redox couple is an effective strategy for cost-effective and highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Their high transmittance and large complex size make cobalt redox couples advantageous in back-illuminated devices. Furthermore, the use of thin TiO2 films, together with the natu...More
