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...
متن کاملInfluence of nanostructured TiO2 film thickness on photoelectrode structure and performance of flexible Dye- Sensitized Solar Cells
A commercial Ti-Nanoxide was deposited on In-doped SnO2 (ITO) polymer substrates by tape casting technique with different thicknesses (7, 14 and 36μm) to be used as photoelectrode in flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Ruthenium dye was adsorbed on each TiO2 film for 24 h. The resulting photoelectrodes were used to form flexible DSSCs in combination with...
متن کاملInvestigation the effect of substrate photo-electrode based on screen method on performance of dye-sensitized solar cells
In this paper we studied preparation of working films of dye-sensitized solar cells using screen printed method. The organic dye based on phenoltiazine with cyanoacrylic acid as the electron donor group utilized as photosensitizer. Fluorine-doped thin oxide FTO coated glass is transparent electrically conductive and ideal for use in dye-sensitized solar cells. FTO glass was coated by screen pri...
متن کاملCharacteristics of PANi/rGO Nanocomposite as Protective Coating and Catalyst in Dye-sensitized Solar Cell Counter Electrode Deposited on AISI 1086 Steel Substrate
One of the possibilities to mass-produce dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) device is if it could be embedded to the area atop metal roof. However, the use of metal substrate is constrained by the corrosion caused by the electrolyte solution used in the DSSC device such as iodide/tri-iodide (I-/I3-). In this study, we propose the utilization of polyaniline/reduced graphene o...
متن کاملComparison of Transparent Nickel Doped Cobalt Sulfide and Platinum Counter Electrodes Used in Quasi-Solid State Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
Transparent nickel doped cobalt sulfide was fabricated on a SnO2:F electrode and tested as an efficient electrocatalyst and as an alternative to the expensive platinum counter electrode. In order to investigate how this electrode could affect the electrical characteristics of a dye-sensitized solar cell, we manufactured cells with the same TiO2 photoanode sensitized with dye (N719) and employin...
متن کاملPlatinum-free tungsten carbides as an efficient counter electrode for dye sensitized solar cells.
Mesoporous tungsten carbides displayed an excellent solar conversion efficiency (7.01%) as a counter electrode for dye sensitized solar cells under 100 mW cm(-2), AM 1.5G illumination, which corresponded to ca. 85% of the efficiency of the conventional platinum electrode.
