| Abstract: | Recent progress in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) research and development,which use innovative light-harvesting dye (the "sensitizer") to improve the optical absorption coefficient of the stained nanostructured electrodes,might color our seemingly dimming future energy security with a tint of rose,despite the looming depletion of fossil fuels.Costing only 10～20% as its silicon counterparts,the new devices might make it affordable for much more people to utilize solar energy,a handy renewable energy source. |
