recent developments in cobalt electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells, a mini review

increasing population, urbanization, industry development and indiscriminate use of natural resources has opened a new era of research among scientists. among all of the renewable energies, solar power would be a smart choice. in the last fifteen years scientist have been able to achieve significant results in solar cell field. there is several visions to increase the efficiency of solar cells, but in this review we are focused on electrolyte redox mediators specifically cobalt complexes due to their distinctive features and valuable impacts that could have accelerate the process in this research area.
