Abstract
The electrochemical and photoelectrochemical study of noncorrosive electron-transfer mediator mixtures for DSC is reported. These mixtures, characterized by the presence of kinetically fast organic or metal−organic redox couples in conjunction with a Co(II)/(III) relay, exhibited maximum photon-to-current conversion efficiencies (IPCE %) exceeding 80% when employed in the presence of a suitably designed MLCT sensitizer, rivaling with the performances of the classical I-/I3- electrolyte.Keywords
