Abstract

A new strategy was developed for improving basic dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) performance, using push–pull organic triarylamines with tunable frontier energy levels as additives in the DSSC electron shuttling electrolyte solution. A significant improvement in the device performance was observed and attributed to improved dye regeneration and hole transport.
