A nonconjugated bridge in dimer-sensitized solar cells retards charge recombination without decreasing charge injection efficiency.
Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) employing a dimer porphyrin, which was synthesised with two porphyrin units connected without conjugation, have shown that both porphyrin components can contribute to photocurrent generation, that is, more than 50 % internal quantum efficiency. In addition, the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of the DSSCs was higher than that of DSSCs using monomer porphyrins. In t...
متن کاملRestricted charge recombination process in PbS quantum dot sensitized solar cells by different coating cycles of ZnS films
The relatively low power conversion efficiency (PCE) of quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) is attributed to charge recombination at the interfaces. Charge recombination process could be suppressed by coating the QD layer with a wide band gap semiconductor such as ZnS, which acts as a blocking layer between the QDs and hole transport material (HTM). In present study, to improve PCE of P...
متن کاملA numerical model for charge transport and recombination in dye-sensitized solar cells.
We propose a numerical model aimed at obtaining the electrical output of dye-sensitized solar cells from microscopic parameters. The model is based on the solution of the continuity equation as a function of voltage for electron transport with both the diffusion coefficient and the recombination constant dependent on the electron density, i.e., the light intensity and/or voltage. The density de...
متن کاملThe influence of dye structure on charge recombination in dye-sensitized solar cells.
Replacing the nonyl groups on the solar cell dye Ru(4,4'-carboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridine)(4,4'-dinonyl-2,2'-bipyridine)(NCS)(2) (Z-907) with amino groups results in a marked decrease in solar cell performance. This is despite the fact that the amino derivative (Z-960) has more favourable light absorption characteristics than Z-907 when used with thick nanocrystalline TiO(2) layers. Electron tra...
متن کاملDynamics of charge transport and recombination in ZnO nanorod array dye-sensitized solar cells.
Intensity modulated photovoltage and photocurrent spectroscopies reveal that photoanodes based on nanorod arrays exhibit dramatically faster electron transport while retaining similar electron lifetimes (recombination times) compared to standard photoanodes assembled from colloidal nanoparticles.
