One Step Preparation of TiO2 Layer for High Efficiency Dye-sensitized Solar Cell.
A novel titanium dioxide paste based on Pechini sol-gel method and nanocrystalline TiO2 powder has been successfully developed and tested. The paste enables the formation of sponge like structure of the TiO2 layer i.e. highly porous and at the same time well connected TiO2 network. The layers have been used to assemble dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) with two ruthenium complex based dyes, N71...
متن کاملSynthesis of TiO2 nanorods with a microwave assisted solvothermal method and their application as dye-sensitized solar cells
Inthiswork, Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructures have beensynthesized via amicrowave assisted solvothermalmethod using titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP),polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) and Ascorbic Acid (AA) in ethanol. The mole ratio ofPVP/AA was found to be critical in determining the morphology and crystal phaseof the final product. PVP/AA mole ratio varied from 1 up to 1...
متن کاملPhotohydrogenation of Acetophenone Using Coumarin Dye-Sensitized Titanium Dioxide under Visible Light Irradiation
The use of coumarin dyes adsorbed on titanium dioxide (TiO2, P25) successfully extended the photocatalytic UV response of TiO2 toward visible light region. The hydrogenation of acetophenone (AP) using TiO2 modified with coumarin dyes proceeded with good chemical efficiencies under visible light irradiation. The role of sacrificial reagents on this dye-sensitized system is also reported.
متن کاملInterrelationship between TiO2 nanoparticle size and kind/size of dyes in the mechanism and conversion efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells.
In order to provide a comprehensive investigation of TiO2 nanoparticle size in relation with different dye types in DSSCs, three sizes of TiO2 nanoparticles and two different dye types including a porphyrin dye (T2) and a ruthenium dye (N3) were synthesized. Steady state current-voltage (J-V) characteristics were investigated for the fabricated DSSCs and the results demonstrated that the optimu...
متن کاملInteraction of Sensitizing Dyes with Nanostructured TiO2 Film in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Using Terahertz Spectroscopy
The objective of this investigation was to shed light on the nature of interaction of different organic dyes and an inorganic dye, Ruthenium (II) polypyridine complex, with TiO2 nanoparticles. TiO2 is commonly deployed as an efficient energy transfer electrode in dye sensitized solar cells. The efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells is a function of the interaction of a dye with the electrode...
