Laminating solution-processed silver nanowire mesh electrodes onto solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells
Solution processed silver nanowire meshes (Ag NWs) were laminated on top of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ss-DSCs) as a reflective counter electrode. Ag NWs were deposited in <1 min and were less reflective compared to evaporated Ag controls; however, AgNW ss-DSC devices consistently had higher fill factors (0.6 versus 0.69), resulting in comparable power conversion efficiencies (2.7%...
متن کاملFailure of silver nanowire transparent electrodes under current flow
Silver nanowire transparent electrodes have received much attention as a replacement for indium tin oxide, particularly in organic solar cells. In this paper, we show that when silver nanowire electrodes conduct current at levels encountered in organic solar cells, the electrodes can fail in as little as 2 days. Electrode failure is caused by Joule heating which causes the nanowires to breakup ...
متن کاملSemitransparent organic photovoltaic cells with laminated top electrode.
We demonstrate semitransparent small molecular weight organic photovoltaic cells using a laminated silver nanowire mesh as a transparent, conductive cathode layer. The lamination process does not damage the underlying solar cell and results in a transparent electrode with low sheet resistance and high optical transmittance without impacting photocurrent collection. The resulting semitransparent...
متن کاملCarbon nanotubes grown on In2O3:Sn glass as large area electrodes for organic photovoltaics
The authors report the growth of multiwall carbon nanotubes directly onto indium tin oxide glass via chemical vapor deposition as large area semitransparent electrodes for organic solar cell applications. The rate of nanotube growth on this ternary oxide is greatly reduced as compared to that of silicon dioxide and glass substrates enabling a high degree of control over nanotube height. The str...
متن کاملSilver Nanowire Networks: Physical Properties and Potential Integration in Solar Cells
With the growing interest in flexible electronics and the increased utilization of Indium Tin Oxide electrodes for display and photovoltaic applications the need for new materials is emerging. In this work we present the electro-optical properties of Ag nanowire networks as an alternative transparent conductive material. A comparison of different film deposition techniques is made and indicates...
