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 کاملSolid-state dye-sensitized solar cells based on ZnO nanoparticle and nanorod array hybrid photoanodes
The effect of ZnO photoanode morphology on the performance of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is reported. Four different structures of dye-loaded ZnO layers have been fabricated in conjunction with poly(3-hexylthiophene). A significant improvement in device efficiency with ZnO nanorod arrays as photoanodes has been achieved by filling the interstitial voids of the nanorod arrays...
متن کاملElectrodeposited ZnO nanowires as photoelectrodes in solid-state organic dye-sensitized solar cells.
A new approach for developing solid-state dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) on glass/ITO and plastic substrates (PEN/ITO) is presented in this manuscript. A two step electrodeposition technique has been employed to realize the ZnO photoelectrodes. First a ZnO thin film is deposited on the ITO substrate and subsequently on this buffer layer 650 nm long ZnO nanowires are grown. The different nan...
