Solar Power: Carbonaceous Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cell Photoelectrodes (Adv. Sci. 3/2015)

Energy is the single most pressing issue facing humanity in the twenty-first century. As society becomes more technologically advanced and a greater proportion of the Earth's population has access to that range of technology, energy requirements will reach unprecedented levels. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have the potential to meet these requirements but there are still issues that limit the cell's ultimate performance. The Review by Munkhbayar Batmunkh, Mark J. Biggs, and Joseph G. Shapter in article number 1400025 explores efforts using carbonaceous materials to overcome some of these issues to develop highly efficient DSSCs.
