Abstract

Based upon the bis(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)copper(I/II) electron mediator, we present an iodine-free dye-sensitized solar cell exhibiting an impressive power conversion efficiency of 7.0% at 100 mW cm(-2) air mass global (AM1.5G) conditions, which rivals that of a control cell with a conventional iodine redox couple.
