Abstract

Solid state p-type dye sensitized NiO–dye–TiO₂ core–shell solar cells with an organic dye PB6 were successfully fabricated for the first time. With Al₂O₃ as an inner barrier layer, the recombination process between injected holes in NiO and injected electrons in TiO₂ was significantly suppressed and the charge transport time was also improved.
