A dye-sensitized indium tin oxide (ITO)/titanium dioxide (TiO 2)/polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-propylene carbonate (PC)-lithium perchlorate (LiClO4)/graphite solar cell was fabricated, and its performance was tested in the dark and under the illumination of a 100 mW/cm2 light. Three TiO2 samples were used...
