Semiconductor-sensitized TiO2 solar cells employing CdSe as a light absorber demonstrate superior photovoltaic performance to the best-performing cascaded CdS/CdSe cells with practically identical optical density in the study. A careful comparison between CdSe and CdS/CdSe sensitized cells reveals t...
