Standardization of Photoelectrode Area of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

This study is aimed to provide new insights on the scalability of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The DSCs of electrode area up to [similar]2 cm2 were fabricated using commercially available P25 TiO2 particles, N3 dye, and iodide/triiodide electrolyte. The photovoltaic conversion efficiency follo...
