摘要
We report a method for achieving multilayer co-sensitization of nanocrystalline TiO2 films. The method is based upon an aluminum isopropoxide treatment of the monosensitized film prior to deposition of a second sensitizer. Appropriate selection of sensitizer dyes allows vectorial, multistep, electron transfer processes, resulting in a suppression of interfacial charge recombination and a significantly improved photovoltaic device performance relative to single-layer co-sensitization devices.
