Molecular adjustment of the electronic properties of nanoporous electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells
Article Abstract:
A way to control the TiO2 energy levels by adsorption of a series of organic molecules with different dipole moments, together with the dye molecules is reported. The results can be explained consistently in terms of a dipole-related shift of E( sub conduction band) with respect to E(sub redox).

Electrochemical deposition of organic semiconductors on high surface area electrodes for solar cells
Article Abstract:
A new method for the deposition of organic semiconductors (OSC) on a conductive substrate is presented. With the help of a liquid electrolyte as a quencher, it is shown that the new electrode can operate as a front electrode in a high surface area bilayer OSC solar cell.
