Comparative study of organo-metallic dyes and fullerenes in dye-sensitised TiO2 solar cells

Dye-sensitized cells differ from the conventional semiconductor devices in that they separate the function of light absorption from charge carrier transport. The device is based on a 10 micrometers thick, optically transparent film of titanium dioxide particles a few nanometers in size, coated with a monolayer of charge-transfer dye to sensitize film for light harvesting. The comparative study of solar cells with different organo-metallic dyes and fullerenes as sensitizers of TiO2, showed different possibilities for the construction of the second generation solar cells.
