Effects of Sensitization with Natural Pigments on the Performance of Dye-sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC)
Three natural pigments including wild iris, black pomegranate bark and black grapes were used as sensitizer in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on TiO2 nanoparticles. The results showed that the DSSC made of black pomegranate bark was more efficient than the other cells due to its strong bonding with TiO2 nanoparticles. Longer electron lifetime, lower electron recombination, and lower...
متن کاملEffect of Hydroquinone Dderivatives in Electrolytes on Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Performance
New kinds of hydroquinone derivatives were synthesized and along with a azo dye applied as additives in the iodide/iodine redox electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells and their effect on the short-circuit photocurrent of dye sensitized solar cells was investigated. Addition of 0.05 M a hydroquinone derivative in the electrolyte comprising 0.5 M 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide (MPII) and...
متن کاملPeripheral Hole Acceptor Moieties on an Organic Dye Improve Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cell Performance
Investigation of charge transfer dynamics in dye-sensitized solar cells is of fundamental interest and the control of these dynamics is a key factor for developing more efficient solar cell devices. One possibility for attenuating losses through recombination between injected electrons and oxidized dye molecules is to move the positive charge further away from the metal oxide surface. For this ...
متن کاملEffect of coadsorbent properties on the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells.
Stearic acid as a coadsorbent, which has a low dipole moment and high solubility, retarded the rate of dye adsorption during the competitive anchoring process on the TiO(2) layer in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), thereby increasing the content of strongly bound dye on the TiO(2) surface. This resulted in an approximately 25% improvement in both J(SC) and the power conversion efficiency of t...
متن کاملEffect of additives on the photovoltaic performance of coumarin-dye-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO2 solar cells.
The effects of deoxycholic acid (DCA) and 4-tert-butylpyridine (TBP) as additives on the photovoltaic performance of coumarin-dye-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO2 solar cells were investigated. DCA coadsorption improved both the photocurrent and photovoltage of the solar cells, even though it decreased the amount of dye adsorbed on the TiO2 electrode. The improved photocurrent may arise from sup...
