Solar energy is the only renewable resource capable of adequately meeting today's total global energy demand. Dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) represent a novel class of photovoltaic devices that mimic nature's photosynthesis process. This book focuses on the possibilities of optimising the dye-sensitised solar cells' efficiency, and also presents the historical background of DSCs, their efficiency timeline, key components, and the principle of operation.
