However, ZSO\u2010based DSSCs have a poor performance record owing largely to the absence of systematic efforts to enhance their performance. Herein, general strategies are proposed to improve the performance of ZSO\u2010based DSSCs involving interfacial engineering\/modification of the photoanode. A conformal ZSO thin film (blocking layer) deposited at the fluorine\u2010doped tin oxide\u2013electrolyte interface by pulsed laser deposition suppressed the back\u2010electron transfer effectively while maintaining a high optical transmittance, which resulted in a 22\u2009% improvement in the short\u2010circuit photocurrent density. Surface modification of ZSO nanoparticles (NPs) resulted in an ultrathin ZnO shell layer, a 9\u2009% improvement in the open\u2010circuit voltage, and a 4\u2009% improvement in the fill factor because of the reduced electron recombination at the ZSO NPs\u2013electrolyte interface. The ZSO\u2010based DSSCs exhibited a faster charge injection and electron transport than their TiO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2010based counterparts, and their superior properties were not inhibited by the ZnO shell layer, which indicates their feasibility for highly efficient DSSCs. Each interfacial engineering strategy could be applied to the ZSO\u2010based DSSC independently to lead to an improved conversion efficiency of 6\u2009%, a very high conversion efficiency for a
