Modern dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) technology was built upon nanoparticle wide bandgap semiconductor photoanodes. While versatile and robust, the sintered nanoparticle architecture exhibits exceedingly slow electron transport that ultimately restricts the diversity of feasible redox mediators. The small collection of suitable mediators limits both our understanding of an intriguing heterogeneous system and the performance of these promising devices. Recently, a number of pseudo-1D photoanodes that exhibit accelerated charge transport and greater materials flexibility were fabricated. The potential of these alternative photoanode architectures for advancing, both directly and indirectly, the performance of DSSCs is explored.
