DSSCs for Indoor Environments: From Lab Scale Experiments to Real Life Applications



A mini review is presented on recent advances in the area of DSSCs for indoor operation, focusing on both lab scale experiments and industrial applications. The suitability of DSSCs for indoor operation, when compared to other PV technologies, is highlighted and the perspective for universal DSSCs, that are able to maintain their performance during radical changes in their lighting environment, is presented.
