Owing to the long alkyl-chain capping around the TiO2 nanoparticles interacting with the liquid solvent, the dye sensitized solar cell based on such DBS-capped TiO2 nanoparticle framework material gel electrolyte shows higher stability compared with the non-capped one in the long-term application and gives a comparable overall efficiency of 6.3% at AM 1.5 illumination.展开更多
