Abstract
This viewpoint describes the background of the development of organic dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells, the impact of the 2006 ChemComm paper by Sun, Hagfeldt and co-workers regarding the D5 D–π–A-family of dyes, some recent developments and possible future challenges to meet.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
