Dye-sensitized solar cells are improved by passivation of different types of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) coating on dyed titanium oxide by reducing the interfacial charge recombination from conduction band to triiodide in the electrolyte. The cells based on nanocrystalline TiO2 have been fabric...
