Abstract

Dye aggregation on semiconductor surface is a serious issue that needs to be prevented for the efficient performance of dyes sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The aggregation of sensitizers decreases the charge injection kinetics. Photoexcited aggregated molecules do not participate in electron injection due to charge annihilation. Moreover, dye aggregation may cause increased charge recombination with dye cation...
