optical studies and photovoltaic performance of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide sensitized with local dye

چکیده
nanocrystalline titanium (iv) oxide paste has been deposited on fluorine doped tin oxide glass substrate by the blade method. the deposited film was subjected to thermal treatment to obtain an electrode foe a photo-electrochemical cell. the electrode was sensitized with prophyrin dye which was a local dye extracted from carica papaya leaves. avaspec 2.1 spectrophotometer was used to obtain the absorbance data, while the tauc model was employed to estimate the optical band gap of the sensitized film. the sensitization process led to band gap narrowing and, hence, the prophyrin-dyed electrode could absorb light beyond the ultraviolet region. also, the current-voltage characteristics of a dye sensitized solar cell based on the prophyrin dye revealed that the natural dye is a good photosensitizer.

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...

Silicon solar cell manufacturing is an expensive and high energy consuming process. In contrast, dye sensitized solar cell production is less environmentally damaging with lower processing temperatures presenting a viable and low cost alternative to conventional production. This paper further enhances these environmental credentials by evaluating the digital printing and therefore additive prod...

متن کاملFlexible Dye-Sensitized Nanocrystalline TiO2 Solar Cells
The Dye-sensitized nanocrystaline TiO2 solar cell (nc-DSC) developed by Grätzel [1] has the potential to reach low costs in future outdoor power applications. In addition, due to its expected ease of production and possibilities to adjust its appearance, the potential for application is very broad. When plastic foil is used as a substrate for the nc-DSC the production and application possibilit...
متن کاملDye-Sensitized Nanocrystalline Rutile TiO2 Films
Dye-sensitized nanocrystalline rutile TiO2 solar cells were prepared, and the influence of Li and 1,2-dimethyl3-hexyl imidazolium ions in the electrolyte on the photovoltaic properties was compared. The electrolyte containing Li ions produced a lower open-circuit photovoltage than the electrolyte with 1,2-dimethyl-3-hexyl imidazolium ions, suggesting that the adsorption of Li ions to the rutile...
