Sterically Controlled Interfacial Charge‐Transfer Mechanisms in Unsymmetrical Squaraine Dyes for Suppressed Aggregation and Enhanced Performance in High‐Efficiency Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells
= 11.64 Ω and longer electron lifetime (τ = 8.58 ms) than AQ1, despite lower dye loading. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and density functional theory (DFT) corroborate suppressed back-electron transfer.
