Description
This work compares the performance of dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) employing films of highly-ordered TiO2 nanotubes to traditional DSCs using films of tightly interconnected TiO2 nanoparticles as the electron transport medium. Moreover, the work investigates whether nanotubes enhance the charge transport phenomena in the cell, thereby producing more efficient DSCs.
