Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) using the p-type semiconductor CuAlO2, in con- junction with a highly effective hole injecting dye and an iodide-triiodide-based electrolyte have been produced, demonstrating photocathodic behavior. An improved open-circuit volt- age (VOC) of 333 mV was observed, compared to analogous devices using NiO, which can be explained by the CuAlO2 valence-band energy, which is lower on the vacuum scale than that of NiO. Incident photon-to-charge-carrier efficiency response confirms that the observed photocurrent is generated by the dye. C 2011 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
