Much attention has been directed towards the enhancement of electron transport in dye-
sensitized solar cells (DSSC) using one-dimensional nanoarchitectured semiconductors.
However, the improvement resulting from these ordered 1-D nanostructured electrodes is
often offset or diminished by the deterioration in other device parameters intrinsically
associated with the use of these 1-D nanostrucutres, such as the two-sided effects of the
length of the nanowires impacting the series resistance and roughness factor. In this work …
