ZnO nanotube based dye-sensitized solar cells.
We introduce high surface area ZnO nanotube photoanodes templated by anodic aluminum oxide for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Atomic layer deposition is utilized to coat pores conformally, providing a direct path for charge collection over tens of micrometers thickness. Compared to similar ZnO-based devices, ZnO nanotube cells show exceptional photovoltage and fill factors, in addit...
متن کاملZnO Nanostructures for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
This Review focuses on recent developments in the use of ZnO nanostructures for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) applications. It is shown that carefully designed and fabricated nanostructured ZnO films are advantageous for use as a DSC photoelectrode as they offer larger surface areas than bulk film material, direct electron pathways, or effective light-scattering centers, and, when combined wi...
متن کاملAerogel Templated ZnO Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on nanocrystalline TiO2 have exhibited solar energy-conversion efficiencies of over 10% and remain one of the most promising candidates for cost-effective solar energy conversion devices. The most efficient DSSCs reported to date utilize a high surface area photoanode, which allows for good light harvesting with a moderate extinction dye, in contact with...
متن کاملZnO@SnO2 engineered composite photoanodes for dye sensitized solar cells
Layered multi-oxide concept was applied for fabrication of photoanodes for dye-sensitized solar cells based on ZnO and SnO2, capitalizing on the beneficial properties of each oxide. The effect of different combinations of ZnO@SnO2 layers was investigated, aimed at exploiting the high carrier mobility provided by the ZnO and the higher stability under UV irradiation pledged by SnO2. Bi-oxide pho...
متن کاملNanostructured ZnO Photoelectrode Synthesis for Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
The main aims of this work were to produce and examine the characteristics of nanostructured ZnO in dye-sensitized solar cells. Parameters which are a ected by the e ciency such as precursor materials, morphology were investigated. The Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate transformation from bulk material to solution. General morphologies and detailed structural characterizations were obt...
