Abstract :
The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have been regarded as one of
the most promising new gene ration solar cells. Tremendous
research efforts have been invested to improve the efficiency of
solar energy conversion which is ge nerally determined by the light
harvesting efficiency, electron injection efficiency and undesirable
electron lifetime. In this review, various characteristics of dye-sensitized nanostructured TiO
2
solar cells, such as working
principle, electron transport and electron lifetime, were studied.
The review avoids detailed mathematical and spectroscopic
discussion, but rather tries to summarize the key conclusions
relevant to materials design.
