Solar Cells: Multidimensional Anodized Titanium Foam Photoelectrode for Efficient Utilization of Photons in Mesoscopic Solar Cells (Small 34/2017)

Multidimensional Anodized Titanium Foam Photoelectrode for Efficient Utilization of Photons in Mesoscopic Solar Cells.

Mesoscopic solar cells based on nanostructured oxide semiconductors are considered as a promising candidates to replace conventional photovoltaics employing costly materials. However, their overall performances are below the sufficient level required for practical usages. Herein, this study proposes an anodized Ti foam (ATF) with multidimensional and hierarchical architecture as a highly effici...

Nanostructured 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...

Printing efficient solar cells

As worldwide demand for fossil fuels depletes reserves, scientists are increasingly focused on generating alternative energy— especially if it can be produced cleanly and inexpensively. Hydroelectric, solar, wind, nuclear, and biomass technologies are replacing coal, oil, and natural gas. Many of these new technologies have similar costs. Yet the availability of materials or existing infrastruc...
