Energy barrier at the N719-dye/CsSnI₃ interface for photogenerated holes in dye-sensitized solar cells.

This report is to address the question if black γ-polymorph of cesium tin tri-iodide (B-γ-CsSnI3) can be used as a solid-state hole-transport material in the conventional DSSCs with the N719 dye to replace the liquid electrolyte as reported by I. Chung et al. on Nature 485, 486, (2012).
