Sun sensitivity : A charge‐transfer sensitizer with an ion‐complexing moiety formed by oxyethylene side groups (see picture) is used in a solid‐state dye‐sensitized solar cell. Lithium coordination to the dye backbone produces under realistic conditions photovoltages of nearly 900 mV and efficiencies of 3.8 %.
