Increases in solar conversion efficiencies of the ZrO2 nanofiber-doped TiO2 photoelectrode for dye-sensitized solar cells
In this paper, in order to improve the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells, we introduced zirconia [ZrO2] nanofibers into a mesoporous titania [TiO2] photoelectrode. The photoelectrode consists of a few weight percent of ZrO2 nanofibers and a mesoporous TiO2 powder. The mixed ZrO2 nanofibers and the mesoporous TiO2 powder possessed a larger surface area than the corresponding mesoporous Ti...
متن کاملConical islands of TiO2 nanotube arrays in the photoelectrode of dye-sensitized solar cells
Ti conical island structures were fabricated using photolithography and the reactive ion etching method. The resulting conical island structures were anodized in ethylene glycol solution containing 0.25 wt% NH4F and 2 vol% H2O, and conical islands composed of TiO2 nanotubes were successfully formed on the Ti foils. The conical islands composed of TiO2 nanotubes were employed in photoelectrodes ...
متن کاملNanostructured ZnO Photoelectrode Synthesis for Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
The main aims of this work were to produce and examine the characteristics of nanostructured ZnO in dye-sensitized solar cells. Parameters which are a ected by the e ciency such as precursor materials, morphology were investigated. The Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate transformation from bulk material to solution. General morphologies and detailed structural characterizations were obt...
متن کاملFlexible Dye-Sensitized Nanocrystalline TiO2 Solar Cells
The Dye-sensitized nanocrystaline TiO2 solar cell (nc-DSC) developed by Grätzel [1] has the potential to reach low costs in future outdoor power applications. In addition, due to its expected ease of production and possibilities to adjust its appearance, the potential for application is very broad. When plastic foil is used as a substrate for the nc-DSC the production and application possibilit...
متن کاملEffect of TiO2 nanotubes with TiCl4 treatment on the photoelectrode of dye-sensitized solar cells
In this study, we used the electrochemical anodization to prepare TiO2 nanotube arrays and applied them on the photoelectrode of dye-sensitized solar cells. In the field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis, the lengths of TiO2 nanotube arrays prepared by electrochemical anodization can be obtained with approximately 10 to 30 μm. After titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) treatment, the wal...
