Atomic-scale observation of multiconformational binding and energy level alignment of ruthenium-based photosensitizers on TiO2 anatase.

Dye-sensitized solar cells constitute a promising approach to sustainable and low-cost solar energy conversion. Their overall efficiency crucially depends on the effective coupling of the photosensitizers to the photoelectrode and the details of the dye's energy levels at the interface. Despite...
