Abstract
Dye-sensitized colloidal TiO2 film electrodes using a Ru(bpy)-complex were used as photoanodes in photoelectrochemical solar cells. The cell s were prepared following the description by Gratzel and coworkers. An overall light-to-electric energy conversion efficiency of 7% in 1000 W/m2 light from an ELH lamp was obtained. Practical problems in the pr eparation procedure of the solar cell module has so far made long time stability tests impossible. Future developments of the cell are discu ssed.
