Enhanced open-circuit voltage of p-type DSC with highly crystalline NiO nanoparticles

Highly crystalline NiO nanoparticles synthesized through a facile thermolysis route were used as photocathode materials in p-type dye-sensitized solar cells resulting in open-circuit voltages exceeding 300 mV with an iodide/triiodide mediator.
