Analysis of Electrical Characteristics using a Lambert W-Function Tech- nique and MATLAB Simulation for Dye Sensitised ZnO Solar Cell
نویسندگان
چکیده
Present article deals with analysis of output characteristics in ZnO based Dye Sensitised Solar Cell (DSSC) using a Lambert W-function technique and MATLAB Simulation. We have used an analytical approach having no approximation for extracting various parameters of DSSC, a well known Lambert W-function technique. The model used in present work is single diode model including the capacitance in equivalent circuit and hence study its effect on currentvoltage characteristics and other DSSC parameters. Results hence obtained are discussed and validated using MATLAB Simulation.

Inthiswork, Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructures have beensynthesized via amicrowave assisted solvothermalmethod using titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP),polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) and Ascorbic Acid (AA) in ethanol. The mole ratio ofPVP/AA was found to be critical in determining the morphology and crystal phaseof the final product. PVP/AA mole ratio varied from 1 up to 1...
متن کاملImprovement of light harvesting by inserting an optical spacer (ZnO) in polymer bulk heterojunction solar cells: A theoretical and experimental study
By introducing a thin ZnO layer as an optical spacer, we have demonstrated that inserting this layer between an active layer and a reflective electrode results in a re-distribution of the optical electric field inside bulk heterojunction solar cells. A theoretical analysis by optical modeling showed that the thin ZnO layer could shift the position of the maximum of the electric field into the a...

متن کاملMinimisation of the cost of generated electricity from dye-sensitised solar cells using numerical analysis
Arrays of thin-film solar cells based on dye-sensitised nanocrystalline oxides (DSC) promise low-cost electricity especially where continuous direct insolation is unavailable. However, the optimisation of arrays of DSC is not straightforward because of the lower power levels obtained and the corresponding increased stringency needed when calculating the production tolerances permissible in the ...

In this paper, the performance of the buffer layer of Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin film solar cell was optimized using SCAPS software. At first, five different buffer layers including CdS, In2S3, ZnO, ZnSe and ZnS with variable thicknesses from 10 to 100 nm have been replaced in the structure of the solar cell and it has been observed. As the thickness of the buffer layer is increased, the eff...
