TiO2photoanodes for I2-free solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSSCs) were prepared from multifunctional new TiO2nanostructures to enhance light harvesting and charge collection efficiency in ssDSSCs using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)s (PEDOTs).

We present a method for eliminating the negative impact of fogging on dye-sensitized solar cells using superhydrophilic nanoparticle coatings. Superhydrophilic coatings made of spin-coated SiO2 nanoparticles suppress fogging on the photoanodes of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells and in turn significantly improve the device efficiency under fogging conditions. We believe that this one-step SiO2 colloidal coating is extremely useful for enhancing light harvesting.

A family of multichromic dyes with excellent light-harvesting abilities have been designed. They utilize redox robust triphenylamines tuned with thienyl-moeities. To confirm their performance as sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells, devices are en-route for fabrication and optimization with varying electrolytes. They serve as excellent candidates towards integration with a hole-transport material: forthcoming goals will involve alteration of the dyes to allow in-situ photo-electrical polymerization with poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene. Solid state analogues of the devices present the ability to be manufactured through a direct-write process.
