“…International and regional academic, exhibition and cooperation have become frequently and many countries allocated money to subsidize solar energy utilization every year. However solar air-conditioning industry is still in the developing stage [16,17] , and the market still needs time to be mature.…”

“…Since the seminal publication by Graetzel, only very few articles have reported stability at higher temperatures, requiring, as it seems, more viscous liquids to alleviate sealing issues, as, for instance, gelified electrolyte or solvent-free ionic liquids [140][141][142][143]. Apart from the very few reports announcing this achievement, still no consensual publications are actually passing the challenging threshold of 1000 hours at 85 ∘ C in dark condition with efficiencies above 5% [132,144,145]. Nevertheless, this assessment emphasizes on the one hand the high credibility of DSC for larger scale applications, but on the other hand, it also point out the important gap to fill in between the champion efficiencies and the stable devices for which this gap closing will require more focus on the understanding of the ageing mechanisms leading to the cell failure, and, in a next step to design specifically more Advances in Chemistry 9 robust and better performing molecules (i.e., ligand, solvent, additive(s) in electrolyte, etc.…”

“…(iii) Sublimation of molecular I 2 has been proposed by different groups [145,153,154]. This hypothesis has been controverted by ex situ and in situ spectroscopic methods such as Raman on aged electrolyte and GC/MS or TGA/MS performed also on aged electrolyte or on electrolyte heated at 60 ∘ C or 85 ∘ C with gas output analysis.…”

The purpose of this review is to gather the current background in materials development and provide the reader with an accurate image of today's knowledge regarding the stability of dye-sensitized solar cells. This contribution highlights the literature from the 1970s to the present day on nanostructured TiO 2 , dye, Pt counter electrode, and liquid electrolyte for which this review is focused on.

These include relatively high energy and materials inputs in the production of nanoparticles, a relatively low solar radiation to electricity conversion efficiency, a relatively short service life, the use of relatively scarce metals and relatively poor recyclability, if compared with the multicrystalline Si solar cell which currently is the market leader. Moreover, the lack of data and the inability of current methods to handle hazards of nanoparticles generate problems in conducting comparative life cycle assessment of nanoparticulate solar cells. So far, the claimed environmental advantage can not be substantiated for fullerene-based and dye-sensitized nanoparticulate solar cells. There are options for the environmental improvement of these nanoparticulate solar cells, but actual development does not seem to focus on environmental improvement.
