By applying 2,6-bis(iminoalkyl)pyridine into DSSCs as a co-sensitizer, a power-conversion efficiency of 7.32% was achieved, 35% higher than that of N719 sensitized DSSCs.

The balance between optimal photoconversion efficiency and long-term stability in p-type DSCs with a cyclometallated ruthenium dye is presented, with mixtures of acetonitrile and propionitrile being the best solvent with an I3−/I− redox couple.

A new TiO2 nanoparticles/nanorods composite electrode was fabricated and applied in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The TiO2 nanorods were obtained by grinding the electrospun TiO2 nanofibers mechanically. The composite photoanode of dye-sensitized solar cells was fabricated by using TiO2 nanoparticles (P25) and electrospun TiO2 nanorods. At the optimized condition, the power conversion efficiency (η) based on a triphenylamine dye (SD2) and a ruthenium dye (N719) are 8.28% and 8.80% under AM 1.5 illumination (100 mW ⋅ cm-2), respectively. The results show that the electrospun TiO2 nanorods in the composite photoanode improve the physicochemical properties and enhance the photovoltaic performances of solar cells.
