Boosting dye-sensitized solar cell efficiency using AgVO3-doped TiO2 active layer

Dye-sensitized solar cells have shown great potential in low and self-powered nano/micro-scale applications, due to their fabrication costs, semi-transparency the visible spectrum, diffused light harvesting capabilities, lead-free structure. However, DSSC efficiencies are still relatively limited absorption capabilities active mesoporous layer. The current study demonstrates an attempt boost overall conversion efficiency of by narrowing energy band gap TiO2 AgVO3 is utilized doping layer, seeking for a shift from 3.2 eV 2.6 eV. In addition, natural organic beetroot dye used while keeping with N719 as bare cell. Morphological, optical, well electrical characterization results were obtained both thin-film complete cells. fabricated cell showed harvested power density 8.6 mW/cm2, capable operating various low-power sensing applications.
