The demand for alternative energy has steadily grown to replace
conventional fossil fuel energy sources. Solar power, considered
clean and sustainable, is one of the most promising candidates of all
alternative energy strategies. The total yearly human energy consumption
can be obtained through 10 min of solar irradiation on
the Earth’s surface. In other words, the energy demand of human
life (13 TW) for one year can be easily obtained by utilizing solar
cells with 10% photoelectric conversion efficiency, on 0.1% of the
Earth’s surface area [1]. Along with its relatively high power conversion
efficiency of 12% [2,3], dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs)
are advantageous for their low cost, simplified manufacturing process
and possible of large-scale production for next generation solar
cells.
