Major challenges in DSSCs until now have been to achieve maximum exciton Keywords: generation followed by dissociation, electrons injection and transportation with minimum recombina- Nanorods tion, which are controlled by the dye/metal oxide, dye/electrolyte, and metal oxide/electrolyte interfaces. Nanofibers Researchers have been focusing on improving these materials interfaces in DSSCs by using novel Nanowires
