Abstract

A cost-effective structure for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) without using transparent conductive oxide (TCO) is reported. Instead of high-cost F/SnO2 glass (FTO-glass) or woven metal mesh, a Ti foil and a perforation-patterned stainless steel (StSt) foil are introduced as the substrates for a counter-electrode and a photo-electrode, respectively.
