Room temperature fabrication of porous ZnO photoelectrodes for flexible dye-sensitized solar cells.

چکیده
We fabricated ZnO photoelectrodes at room temperature by doctor-blading ZnO gel; the adequate interparticle connection and the effective ammonia activation process improved the flexible DSC's efficiency to 3.8% (under 100 mW cm(-2)).

Optimization of dye adsorption time and film thickness for efficient ZnO dye-sensitized solar cells with high at-rest stability
Photoelectrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells were fabricated using commercially available zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and sensitized with the dye N719. This study systematically investigates the effects of two fabrication factors: the ZnO film thickness and the dye adsorption time. Results show that these two fabrication factors must be optimized simultaneously to obtain efficient ZnO/N719...
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 کاملRoom-temperature chemical integration of ZnO nanoarchitectures on plastic substrates for flexible dye-sensitized solar cells.
ZnO nanoarchitectured anodes composed of the ZnO nanocactus array and the top ZnO particle layer are chemically integrated on ITO-PET substrates using a facile room-temperature chemical bath deposition method for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In the absence of high-temperature post-treatment and mechanical compression, a notable efficiency of 5.24% is simply achieved in the flexible ZnO D...
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...
متن کاملEffect of Annealing Temperature on TiO<sub>2</sub>ZnO CoreShell Aggregate Photoelectrodes of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
Photoelectrodes made of submicrometer-sized aggregates of ZnO nanocrystallites coated with TiO2 layer by atomic layer deposition with different annealing temperatures were investigated for dye-sensitized solar cells. Although the annealing at 350 C is commonly used for the ZnO aggregates in order to preserve the desired large surface area and mesoporous structure, the presence of ALD-TiO2 layer...
