The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have been regarded as one of the most promising new generation solar cells. Tremendous research efforts have been invested to improve the efficiency of solar energy conversion which is generally determined by the light harvesting efficiency, electron injection efficiency and undesirable electron lifetime. In this review, various characteristics of dyesensit...

We present a new approach to fabricate an integrated power pack by hybridizing energy harvest and storage processes. This power pack incorporates a series-wound dyesensitized solar cell (DSSC) and a lithium ion battery (LIB) on the same Ti foil that has double-sided TiO2 nanotube (NTs) arrays. The solar cell part is made of two different cosensitized tandem solar cells based on TiO2 nanorod arr...

This paper presents the performance of solar cells under different electric lighting sources in indoor environments. Experiments are conducted for different solar technologies like polycrystalline Silicon, Amorphous Silicon and DyeSensitized .Measurements are done under illumination from incandescent, fluorescent and LED light sources in this paper. Also, simulations are done to find out the ma...

In this work, novel MoS2/nitrogen-doped carbon shell–core microspheres (MNCS) have been designed and prepared through the microwave-assisted method, and used as counter electrodes for platinum-free dyesensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The results show that as-prepared shell–core composite microspheres possess low charge transfer resistance and high electrocatalytic activity. When used as a counte...

Photovoltaic cells that harness solar energy and convert it to electricity are essential to NASA’s work in outer space, as wired electricity does not exist. However, current solar cells are inefficient and inflexible. Dyesensitized solar cells (DSSCs), a type of organic-based solar cell, show promise as a potential solution to this problem. DSSCs are novel technologies though, and their ineffic...
