In this work, two dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) of organic dyes and different absorption regions are stacked together in parallel connection to construct tandem dye-sensitized solar cells with broader and more integrated absorption band. Gold nanorods (GNRs) were utilized as a scattering layer in the back face of the back cell. The results showed that TDSSC exhibited much higher conversion efficiency compared to single DSSCs. Efficiencies up to 11 % can be achieved using TDSSC in parallel connection. Moreover, charge transfer resistance Rct decreased from 95 ? to 54 ? retaining about 76 percent improvement. © 2018, Inst Materials Physics.
