Abstract

A novel polymer based photocathode with a secondary porous structure was developed for tandem dye-sensitized solar cells (pn-DSCs). Complementary absorption was realized in pn-DSCs. The resulting tandem devices achieved a panchromatic absorption and a power conversion efficiency of 1.30%.
