چکیده

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been developed as a promising photovoltaic cell type in recent decades because of their low cost, environmental friendliness, ease fabrication, and suitability for wide range indoor outdoor applications, especially under diverse shaded low-light condition. They are typically composed three main components: transparent conducting oxide (TCO) substrate-based working electrode with wide-bandgap semiconductors dye sensitizer molecules, an electrolytic mediator based on redox couple species, TCO-based counter consisting catalyst materials. The development intrinsic functional organic, inorganic, metal oxide, composite, carbon-based materials has intensively studied to enhance the efficiency DSSCs. A simple low-cost fabrication process that uses natural products is also considered essential further large-scale production. In this article, we review various effects DSSC performance.

Recent development of carbon nanotubes materials as counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells

Dye-sensitized solar cells present promising low-cost alternatives to the conventional Silicon (Si)-based solar cells. The counter electrode  generally consists of Pt deposited onto FTO plate. Since Pt is rare and expensive metal, nanostructured carbonaceous materials have been widely investigated as a promising alternative to replace it. Carbon nanotubes  have shown significant properties such...

Fabrication of dye sensitized solar cells with a double layer photoanode

Dye sensitized solar cell was fabricated from a double layer photoanode. First, TiO2 nanoparticles  were synthesized by hydrothermal method. These TiO2 NPs were deposited on FTO glasses by electrophoretic deposition  method in applied voltage of 5 V and EPD time of 2.5-10 min. Then TiO2 hollow spheres (HSs) were synthesized by sacrificed template method with Carbon Spheres as template and TTIP ...
