title: Aqueous dye-sensitized solar cell electrolytes based on the ferricyanide-ferrocyanide redox couple.
abstract: Solar energy conversion efficiencies of over 4% have been achieved in DSCs constructed with aqueous electrolytes based on the ferricyanide-ferrocyanide redox couple, thereby avoiding the use of expensive, flammable and toxic solvents. This paradigm shift was made possible by the use of a hydrophobic organic carbazole dye.
