Abstract :
As next generation solar cells, dye-sensitized TiO2 solar cells attract many scientists’ attention throughout the world. Although currently
there are no commercially available products on the market, construction of large modules and long-term stability tests have been
carried out by many companies and laboratories worldwide; commercialized DSC products may be appearing in the near future. Improving
DSC performance and long-term stability is a great challenge not only to the academic research but also for industrial applications.
Here the interface molecular engineering principle is proposed as the main strategy to meet this challenge in view of recent progress in
this domain.
