That is, the blended solar cell is not a so-called Grätzel cell being sensitized by mono-layer dyes chemically adsorbed on the TiO2 electrode, but rather the enhanced photovoltaic properties are attributable to the dye-sensitization of the conjugated polymer.}, pages = {2277--2283}, title = {Merocyanine Dye-Sensitization of Polythiophene in a Conjugated Polymer/TiO2 p-n Hetero-Junction Solar Cell}, volume = {76}, year = {2003} }
