A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) fabricated by using a novel silyl-anchor coumarin dye with alkyl-chain substitutes, a Br/Br redox electrolyte solution containing water, and a Mg-doped anatase-TiO electrode with twofold surface modification by MgO and AlO exhibited an open-circuit photovoltage over 1.4 V, demonstrating the possibility of DSSCs as practical photovoltaic devices.
