In this presentation, I will discuss low-cost, high-efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) through the use of nanoengineered TiO2 (e.g., nanotubes and nanoflowers) as photoanode, dyes as sensitizer, and earth abundant, environmentally friendly quaternary semiconductor copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) as counter electrode.
