Abstract

Photoelectric cells based on titanium dioxide and di-(isothiocyanate)-bis-(2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate)ruthenium(II) with titanium and gold electrodes are fabricated. An analysis of the dark and light current-voltage characteristics shows that the electrode material affects the main parameters of the solar cells: the open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and efficiency.
