The photogenerated current is greatly improved without altering the open-circuit voltage of the cell, while keeping the transparency of the cell intact. Improved av. power-conversion efficiency values between 15% and 30% are attained.dye sensitized solar cell efficiency photonic crystaltext::journal::journal article::research article
