We found that a 6 nm ZnO overlayer on a 3 {\ensuremath{\mu}}m mesoporous nanoparticle Al2O3 template shows a power conversion efficiency of 4.2 \% with the standard organic sensitizer (coded Y123) and cobalt bipyridine redox mediator.}, author = {Abdi Jalebi, Mojtaba and Chandiran, Aravind Kumar and Nazeeruddin, Mohammad K and Gr{\"a}tzel, Michael}, keywords = {Dye-sensitized solar cell, zinc oxide, atomic layer deposition, mesoporous template} }
