Nanocrystalline Junctions and Mesoscopic Solar Cells — •Michael Graetzel — Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, 1015 Lausanne Switzerland

Mesoscopic solar cells have emerged as credible contenders to conventional p-n junction photovoltaics [1,2]. Separating light absorption from charge carrier transport, dye sensitized solar cells (DSCs) were the first to use three-dimensional nanocrystalline junctions for solar electricity production, reaching currently a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 13% in standard air mass 1.5 sunlight. Large-scale production and commercial sales have been launched. Recently we witnessed the meteoric rise of metal halide perovskites such as CH3NH3PbI3 as powerful light harvesters [3,4]. Carrier diffusion lengths in the micron range have been measured for solution-processed perovskites which now attain a certified PCE of 20.1%. Perovskite-based mesoscopic photosystem that mimic natural photosynthesis in generating fuels from sunlight [6] will also be presented.
