Main Results:

  • Transparency and efficiency exhibit saturation trends with increasing dye loading.
  • A linear relationship between transparency and efficiency was observed, largely independent of TiO(2) thickness within a specific range.
  • Dye type significantly influences the transparency-efficiency relationship.
  • Co-sensitization enables access to previously unattainable regions of the T&E space.

Conclusions:

  • The T&E relationship provides a valuable guide for optimizing DSSCs for building-integrated photovoltaics.
  • Co-sensitization offers a strategy to enhance both transparency and efficiency simultaneously.
  • Understanding these relationships is crucial for advancing DSSC technology.
