Abstract
Aqueous Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells In article number 2000823, Federico Bella, Matteo Bonomo, and co-workers have successfully applied Design of Experiment to engineer the composition of the electrolyte in quasi-solid aqueous DSSCs that leads to photoconversion efficiency approaching 5% and remarkable stability. Aqueous dye-sensitized solar cells are an emerging alternative to enhance both lifetime and sustainability of traditional DSSCs.
