Efficiency improvement in solid-state-dye-sensitized photovoltaics with an amphiphilic Ruthenium-dye
We report a solid-state-dye-sensitized solar cell with an efficiency of 4% over the standard air mass 1.5 spectrum s100 mW/cm2d. This was made possible by using an amphiphilic dye with hydrophobic spacers. We dense layer on the TiO2 surface w as anchors and with its hydrophobic isolating chains as blocking layer between hole conductor and TiO2. In addition we studied the dependence of the thick...
متن کاملFabrication of dye sensitized solar cells with a double layer photoanode
Dye sensitized solar cell was fabricated from a double layer photoanode. First, TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method. These TiO2 NPs were deposited on FTO glasses by electrophoretic deposition method in applied voltage of 5 V and EPD time of 2.5-10 min. Then TiO2 hollow spheres (HSs) were synthesized by sacrificed template method with Carbon Spheres as template and TTIP ...
متن کاملPhotovoltaic Performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) Fabricated by Silver Nanoclusters-Decorated TiO2 Electrode via Photochemical Reduction Technique
In this investigation, Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite was prepared by deposition of silver nanoclusters onto commercial TiO2 nanoparticles (known as P25 TiO2) via photodeposition technique as clean and simple photochemical route. The synthesized Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite was utilized in the fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) chiefly because, compared ...
متن کاملInfluence of TiO2 layer thickness as photoanode in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are categorized as some of inexpensive thin-film solar cells. The basis and foundation of these cells is a semiconductor that consists of an electrolyte and a light-sensitive anode. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a semiconductor that plays the role of anode and is the main constituent of these cells. In this paper, we have addressed the functionality and performan...
متن کاملTiO2 pore-filling and its effect on the efficiency of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells
Solid state dye sensitized solar cells have been the focus of much attention over the past few years. We have recently been able to demonstrate efficiencies in excess of 4% and further improvements are expected. Here we compare a range of different hole conductor materials and investigate a number of key parameters which affect their performance. Wetting and pore filling of the nanoporous TiO2 ...
