✦ Synopsis


A dye-sensitized solid-state cell was fabricated by sandwiching ruthenium bypridyl complex in between porous TiO 2 and CuI 5lms. Cis-dithiocyanate-bis(2,2-bipyridyl -4-4-dicarboxylate) ruthenium (II) exhibited excellent performance among the dyes tested for TiO 2 "dye"CuI cell. Di4erent mechanisms are proposed for charge generation of the cell under di4erent modes of illumination. A high incident photon to current conversion e7ciency was observed under back wall illumination compared to that of front wall illumination. Dye molecules exhibited a relay e4ect under back wall mode illumination at wavelengths shorter than 400 nm.
