In a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), the amount of light absorption dependson the design of the pigments, which determines the strength of light absorption and theoptical range of the cell. In this paper, we have constructed and studied two fairly similarpattern of DSSCs in structure. The thickness of TiO2 used for both cells is taken to be 2μm. We have used an industrial N719 dye for one of ...

The past three decades have witnessed extensive research in developing a range of non-metallic fused heterocyclic organic dyes for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are considered as one of the most promising alternativerenewable energy sources. In the structure of DSSCs, a photosensitizer composed of transitionmetal complexes is used to harvest light. In this work a binuclear complex containing twopropionitrile pendant arms [ZnLCu(OAC)]PF6 {L = 1, 6- bis (2-cyanoethyl) -2, 5-bis (2-hydroxy3-formyl-5-methylbenzyl)-2, 5- d...

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 elec...

Introduction Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are widely recognized as a promising alternative and cost-effective technology for solar-toelectric energy conversion. Current silicon solar cells are limited due to their lack of flexibility, high cost of manufacturing and installation, and heavy weight. Alternatively, dye-sensitized solar cells have a very simple fabrication process, low fabrica...

Solar cells must accomplish two basic tasks to generate current: absorb incident photons and conduct excited electrons to the circuit. Traditional solar cells made of silicon accomplish these with a single, expensive material. Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are an alternative using separately optimized materials for each task. In short, a dye absorbs the photons and injects them into a semic...

In the present work, we report a simple method of making glass-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with individual free-standing TiO2 nanotube arrays.

Porous copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) thin film was prepared via a solvothermal approach. Compared with conventional dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), double junction photoelectrochemical cells using dye-sensitized n-type TiO(2) (DS-TiO(2)) as the photoanode and porous p-type CZTS film as the photocathode shows an increased short circuit current, external quantum efficiency and power conversi...
