Successful demonstration of an efficient I-/(SeCN)(2) redox mediator for dye-sensitized solar cells

Jun Ho Yum

A new I-/(SeCN)(2) redox mediator has favorable properties for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) such as less visible light absorption, higher ionic conductivity, and downward shift of redox potential than I-/I-3(-). It was then applied for DSCs towards in ...
