Advancing dye-DES synergies in dye-sensitized solar cells for improved indoor efficiency and long-term stability under sustainable conditions.
Article in Communications chemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Two carbazole-based donor-acceptor dyes, CBZ-Gly and CBZ-EG, featuring glycerol- and ethylene glycol-like side chains, were designed and synthesized to achieve synergistic compatibility with DES-based electrolytes, and systematically investigate their impact on DSSCs performance. These dyes were tested in DSSCs employing two neat deep eutectic solvent (DES) electrolytes (choline chloride/ethylene glycol and choline chloride/glycerol) under both simulated sunlight (AM 1.5G) and indoor lighting (1000 lux). By combining molecular-level dye design with a tailored DES-based electrolyte, we achieved an improvement in long-term device stability over several months and demonstrated a record indoor power conversion efficiency of 9.4%, thereby establishing a new benchmark for fully sustainable, DES-based DSSCs under low-light conditions.
