Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were developed by exploiting the photovoltaic effect to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The photoanode layer thickness significantly affects the semiconductor film�s ability to carry electronic charges, adsorb sensitizing dye molecules, and lower the r...
