Which mechanism limits the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells at elevating temperatures?

💡 Explanation

At elevated temperatures, the kinetic energy of electrons and holes increases, which accelerates the electron-hole recombination rate because more carriers overcome the energy barrier for recombination. Therefore, efficiency is reduced, rather than being lowered by dye desorption, diffusion limits or injection quantum yield issues arising from other conditions.
