What is the surface charge on N719 or other dyes used in Dye-sensitized solar cells?

10 October 2018 0 9K Report

All the dye particles are either cationic, anionic or nonionic in nature. However most of the dyes are either cationic or anionic.

How about dyes used for Dye sensitized solar cells like N719 or D719
