Analysis of DSSCs using BI54 dye as light harvester. (a), (b) and (c): J-V curves of DSSCs sensitized for 20 h, 13 h and 5 h, respectively. (d), (e) and (f): normalized open circuit photovoltage decay (sensitization time: 20 h, 13 h, 5 h). (g), (h) and (i) calculated electron lifetime (sensitization time: 20 h, 13 h, 5 h, respectively). Black and green lines in (a), (d) and (g) refer to photoanodes made by TiO2 nanoparticles and MWCNT-TiO2, respectively. Blue and red lines in (b), (c), (e), (f), (h), (i) refer to device sensitized with BI54 dye alone and BI54 dye with DCA, respectively.
