Abstract
A major objective of our research is to define and solve the problems that limit the efficiency and commercial viability of solar cells based on dye-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO2. Toward this end, we are currently elucidating the factors that govern charge transport and the loss mechanisms in mesoporous nanoparticle films of TiO2. In this paper, we describe the first experimental evidence thatthe network geometry strongly influences electron transport and the first application of percolation theory to dye-sensitized solar cells.
