Dye-sensitized solar cells: driving-force effects on electron recombination dynamics with cobalt-based shuttles.
A series of cobalt-containing redox couples, based on [Co(1,10-phenanthroline)(3)](ClO(4))(2) and its derivatives, were prepared for use as regenerators/shuttles in dye-sensitized solar cells featuring modified TiO(2) photoelectrodes. Surface modification and trap-state passivation of the TiO(2) nanoparticle film electrodes were accomplished via atomic layer deposition of an ultrathin alumina c...
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 کاملNi(III)/(IV) bis(dicarbollide) as a fast, noncorrosive redox shuttle for dye-sensitized solar cells.
Nickel bis(dicarbollide) is used as a fast, one-electron outer sphere redox couple in dye-sensitized solar cells. Device performances with this anionic shuttle are investigated with different electrolyte concentrations and additives, using only 0.030 M of the Ni(III) bis(dicarbollide) to efficiently regenerate the ruthenium dye. Atomic layer deposition of Al(2)O(3) on the nanoparticulate TiO(2)...
متن کاملFabrication of dye sensitized solar cells with a double layer photoanode
Dye sensitized solar cell was fabricated from a double layer photoanode. First, TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method. These TiO2 NPs were deposited on FTO glasses by electrophoretic deposition method in applied voltage of 5 V and EPD time of 2.5-10 min. Then TiO2 hollow spheres (HSs) were synthesized by sacrificed template method with Carbon Spheres as template and TTIP ...
متن کاملEffective enhancement of the performance of black dye based dye-sensitized solar cells by metal oxide surface modification of the TiO2 photoelectrode.
Effective enhancement of the performance of black dye based dye-sensitized solar cells has been achieved by MgO or Al(2)O(3) surface modification of the TiO(2) photoelectrode. The conversion efficiency was improved from 10.4% to 10.8% due to the blocking effect of the thin overlayer at the TiO(2) surface.
