In 2003, Nobel Laureate Richard E. Smalley outlined humanity's top 10 problems for the
next 50 years. 1 The top problem is energy (Figure 1). Human society is facing a global …

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been intensely researched for more than two
decades. Electrolyte formulations are one of the bottlenecks to their successful …

Recently, perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 sensitizer has attracted great attention due to its superb
light-harvesting characteristics. Organometallic or organic materials were mostly used as …

Organolead-halide-perovskite-based solar cells have recently received significant attention
due to their excellent photovoltaic performance and low cost. The general formula of this …

Since its commercial production in the early twentieth century, titanium dioxide (TiO2) has
been widely used as a pigment1 and in sunscreens, 2, 3 paints, 4 ointments, toothpaste, 5 …

A TiO2 organic sol was synthesised for the preparation of a compact TiO2 layer on fluorine-
doped tin oxide (FTO) glass by a dip-coating technique. The resultant thin film was used for …

The development of high-efficiency solid-state excitonic photovoltaic solar cells compatible
with solution processing techniques is a research area of intense interest, with the poor …

Using poly (N-methyl-4-vinyl-pyridine iodide), N-methyl-pyridine iodide and iodine, a solid
polymer electrolyte with conductivity of 6.41 mS/cm is prepared. On the basis of a solid …

Dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are receiving considerable attention as low‐cost
alternatives to conventional solar cells. In DSSCs based on liquid electrolytes, a …

In this study, polythiophene–TiO2 nanotube films (PTh/TNT) were successfully prepared by
a two-step electrochemical process of anodization and electropolymerization, in which a …
