Modulating optical and electrical properties of TiO2 photoanode in dye-sensitized solar cells by Pham, Thi Thu Trang

“…Through these studies, it was revealed that the presence of macropores reduced the recombination between electrons in TiO2 and electrolyte as well as enhanced the diffusion of I3- or Co3+ ions in electrolyte to improve mass transport. These enhancements became more significant when the right combination of dye and electrolyte were used to fabricate DSCs from the mesoporous-macroporous films. …”
