Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201304010-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Quintuple‐shelled SnO₂ hollow microspheres</bold> are prepared by a hard‐template method. DSSCs constructed with SnO₂ multi‐shell photoanodes show a record photoconversion efficiency of 7.18% due to enhanced light scattering. SnO₂ hollow microspheres that are utilized as a scattering layer on top of P25 films increase the DSSC photoconversion efficiency from 7.29% to 9.53%. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4sm1h1w3" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
