Mass transport has been identified as a limiting problem in the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells based on electrolytes consisting of ionic liquids or cobalt complexes. A mixed TiO2 macroporous–mesoporous morphology employed as photoanode is demonstrated to assist the diffusion...
