Additionally, the devices containing a mixture of this sensitizer and chenodeoxycholic acid as co-adsorbent were fabricated. The amount of adsorbed dye molecules to TiO2 was evaluated. The prepared photoanodes with different TiO2 nanostructures were investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy, optical, atomic force, and scanning electron microscopes. Photovoltaic response of constructed devices was examined based on current-voltage characteristics and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. It was found that the highest UV-Vis absorption exhibited the photoanode with nanotubes addition. This indicates the highest number of sensitizer molecules anchored to the titanium dioxide photoanode, which was subsequently confirmed by dye-loading tests. The highest power conversion efficiency was (6.97%) for solar cell containing nanotubes and a mixture of the dyes with a co-adsorbent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>DOI:<\/h4>\n<div class=\"b-doi\">10.3390\/ma14071633<\/div>\n<h4>Authors:<\/h4>\n<div class=\"b-author\">Pawe\u0142 Gnida, Pawe\u0142 Jarka, Pavel Chulkin, A.
