DESCRIPTION:Photovoltaic cells using molecular dyes\, semiconductor quantu
 m dots or perovskite pigments as light harvesters have emerged as credible
  contenders to conventional devices. Dye sensitized solar cells (DSCs) use
  a three-dimensional mesoscopic junction for photovoltaic electricity prod
 uction. They possess unique practical advantages in particular highly effe
 ctive electricity production from ambient light\, ease of manufacturing\, 
 flexibility and transparency\, bifacial light harvesting\, and aesthetic a
 ppeal\, which have enabled industrial mass production and commercial appli
 cations. They served as a launch pad for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) whi
 ch are presently being intensively investigated as one of the most promisi
 ng future PV technologies\, the PCE of solution processed laboratory cells
  having currently reached 26.1%. Present research focusses on their scale 
 up to as well as ascertaining their long-term operational stability. My le
 cture will cover our most recent findings in this revolutionary photovolta
 ic domain.
