30. 2 with solvent A and rinsed by toluene, the τ of the DSC was shorter than that rinsed by AN. The result implies that the shorter Τ is not due to the different adsorption conditions of the dyes. This topic will be addressed further elsewhere.

48. oc with shortest lifetime under the standard electrolyte, whereas MK3 showed the lowest Voc with electrolyte containing only LiI (Table S1, Supporting Information). These show different interactions of these dyes with electrolytes. Influence of tBP for the case of organic dyes is also interesting but this topic will be addressed elsewhere.
