“… 6 – 13 This is likely due to the dominance of I – /I 3 – as the prototypical redox mediator employed in DSSCs that is not easily amenable to systematic studies. 14 , 15 However, alternative redox mediators, such as Co(III/II) polypyridyl complexes, 16 – 23 triphenylamine or phenothiazine, 24 , 25 have provided new opportunities to gain fundamental information on how sensitive charge recombination is to the electrolyte composition, 6 , 26 molecular structure, 12 , 27 or the thermodynamic driving force. 7 – 9 …”
