Pentacene (purified by sublimation) / Photovoltaic power generation has attracted much attention for the mitigation options of climate change and as an alternative energy source. Dye-sensitized solar cells and organic thin-fi lm solar cells are lightweight and have high process ability while maintaining low production costs and have been studied for the next generation of solar cells. •Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Grätzel and co-worker reported solar energy-to-electricit
y conversion efficiencies as high as 7-8% on dye-sensitized fractal-type TiO2 electrodes1). These solar cells, also known as the Grätzel cell, are composed of I) transparent electrode, II) TiO2, III) dyes, IV) electrolytes, V) counter electrode.
