We present a method for eliminating the negative impact of fogging on dye-sensitized solar cells using superhydrophilic nanoparticle coatings. Superhydrophilic coatings made of spin-coated SiO2 nanoparticles suppress fogging on the photoanodes of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells and in turn significantly improve the device efficiency under fogging conditions. We believe that this one-step SiO2 colloidal coating is extremely useful for enhancing light harvesting.
