Effect nanoparticles silicon carbide on the characteristics of solar cells based on lutetium diphthalocyanine

Composites nanoparticles silicon carbide with lutetium diphthalocyanine were created. The size and shape carbide, as well their phase composition, determined by electron microscopy. absorption spectra of a solution diphthalocyanine, composite measured. Raman scattering obtained for carbide. A comparative analysis the various samples was carried out. effect molecules on optical properties elucidated. resulting used sensitizer to create Gretzel cells. In control Grotzel cell, an absorber; in working combination open-circuit voltage short-circuit current measured under same illumination both Keywords: Solar photovoltaics, sensitizers, solar cells, semiconductor nanoparticles,
