title: A light-resistant organic sensitizer for solar-cell applications.
abstract: Finely tuned: A stable dye-sensitized solar cell that contains a molecularly engineered organic dye has been prepared. The efficiency of the cell remains at 90% after 1000 h of light soaking at 60 degrees C. The remarkable stability of the cell is also reflected in the open-circuit voltage value (V(oc)), short-circuit photocurrent-density value (J(sc)), and the fill factor, which also show barely no decline (see picture).
