ABSTRACT Effective enhancement of the performance of black dye based dye-sensitized solar cells has been achieved by MgO or Al(2)O(3) surface modification of the TiO(2) photoelectrode. The conversion efficiency was improved from 10.4% to 10.8% due to the blocking effect of the thin overlayer at the TiO(2) surface.
