Abstract:

SnO 2/ MgO composite film-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), sensitized with both N719 dye and metal-free D358 dye, employing [Formula: see text] redox couple-based liquid electrolyte, show superior performance to those sensitized with only D358 dye, and N719 dye. A significant improvement in the power conversion efficiency was attained by co-sensitizing the N719-based DSCs with metal-free D358 dye when compared to those obtained for DSCs with individual dyes. As confirmed by UV-visible absorption spectra, N719 dye adsorption is more prominent than that of D358 dye when sensitizing the SnO 2/ MgO composite film with the two dyes, D358 and N719. However, N719 and D358 dyes, when used alone, are prone to form aggregates on the SnO 2/ MgO composite film, when N719 dye is used together with D358, the latter effectively suppresses the aggregation of N719 dye on the SnO 2/ MgO composite film, thereby enhancing the power conversion efficiency of the DSCs. Hence, the corresponding power conversion efficiency of the SnO 2/ MgO composite film-based DSCs can be significantly improved by sensitizing with both N719 and D358 dyes. The reported power conversion efficiencies for the SnO 2/ MgO composite film-based DSCs, sensitized with, (a) D358 dye, (b) N719 dye, and (c) both N719 dye and D358 dye, are 6.37%, 7.43% and 8.60% respectively, under AM 1.5 illumination.

Abstract:

Nanocrystalline rutile-anatase mixing phase TiO2 film was synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The mixing-phase nanocrystals, composed of 52 wt% rutile and 48 wt% anatase, contained nanorods with diameter of 20 nm and the length of more than 200 nm ascribed to rutile phase. The short circuit photocurrent of DSCs based on the rutile-anatase TiO2 nanocrystals was enhanced in comparison with that of DSCs based on anatase TiO2 because the light was effectively scattered by rutile nanorods in the mixing-phase TiO2 films.

Abstract:

Flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) were prepared by using carbon nanotube transparent conductive films (CNT-TCFs) as flexible substrates, and their photovoltaic properties were investigated as well. The flexible DSCs show typical photovoltaic characteristics with short-circuit current of 0.78 μA and open-circuit voltage of 1.48 mV, which was strongly influenced by heat-treatment temperature, type of dyes, and electrical resistivity. In light of their lighter weight and higher flexibility than conventional DSCs based on conductive glass substrates, the flexible DSCs have great potential as functional photoelectric components in many fields.

Abstract:

Dye-sensitized solar cell(DSC) is a new type of photovoltaic device. This paper mainly describes the research results of the development of a novel nitrogen-doped photoanode for DSC in our group. Highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) of 7.6-10.1% were fabricated using nitrogen-doped titania electrodes. The photoelectrochemical properties of the nitrogen-doped titania powder, film, and solar cell were systemically investigated. We confirmed the substitution of oxygen sites and oxygen deficiency with nitrogen atoms in the titania structure by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). The UV-Vis spectra of the nitrogen-doped powder and film showed visible light absorption in the wavelength range between 400 nm and 535 nm. The results of the stability test indicated that the DSCs fabricated by the nitrogen-doped titania exhibited great stability.

Abstract:

In this paper, pure ZnO nanospheres and IO3- ions doped ZnO nanospheres were prepared by heating under reflux with zinc acetate and diethylene glycol as raw materials, and the ZnO dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) were prepared. The influences of reaction time and IO3--ions dope on ZnO properties were studied. DSCs properties prepared with obtained ZnO nanospheres were investied. ZnO nanospheres were characterized by XRD, SEM and infrared absorption spectrogram. The results showed that when the temperature was 160°C, ZnO nanospheres with diameter 100-800nm were obtained. When reaction time was 2h, ZnO diameter was about 500nm. When the reaction time was 24h, the diameter of ZnO was about 800nm with wider distribution. The ZnO DSCs were prepared by using ZnO nanopowders with different reaction time as photoanode. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of 24h-ZnO DSCs was the highest. The photoelectric conversion efficiency, open circuit voltage, short-circuit current and fill factor were 2.15%, 0.64V, 6.47 mA•cm-2, 0.52, respectively.

Abstract:

Five 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligands bearing N-arylmethaniminyl substituents in the 4- and 4′-positions were prepared by Schiff base condensation in which the aryl group is Ph (1), 4-tolyl (2), 4-tBuC6H4 (3), 4-MeOC6H4 (4), and 4-Me2NC6H4 (5). The homoleptic copper(I) complexes [CuL2][PF6] (L = 1–5) were synthesized and characterized, and the single crystal structure of [Cu(1)2][PF6]·Et2O was determined. By using the “surfaces-as-ligands, surfaces-as-complexes” (SALSAC) approach, the heteroleptic complexes [Cu(6)(Lancillary)]+ in which 6 is the anchoring ligand ((6,6′-dimethyl-[2,2′-bipyridine]-4,4′-diyl)bis(4,1-phenylene))bis(phosphonic acid)) and Lancillary = 1–5 were assembled on FTO-TiO2 electrodes and incorporated as dyes into n-type dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Data from triplicate, fully-masked DSCs for each dye revealed that the best-performing sensitizer is [Cu(6)(1)]+, which exhibits photoconversion efficiencies (η) of up to 1.51% compared to 5.74% for the standard reference dye N719. The introduction of the electron-donating MeO and Me2N groups (Lancillary = 4 and 5) is detrimental, leading to a decrease in the short-circuit current densities and external quantum efficiencies of the solar cells. In addition, a significant loss in open-circuit voltage is observed for DSCs sensitized with [Cu(6)(5)]+, which contributes to low values of η for this dye. Comparisons between performances of DSCs containing [Cu(6)(1)]+ and [Cu(6)(4)]+ with those sensitized by analogous dyes lacking the imine bond indicate that the latter prevents efficient electron transfer across the dye.

Abstract:

We report the synthesis and characterization of the first example of an organic dye, PP1, for p-type dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) bearing a phosphonic acid anchoring group. PP1 is structurally related to the benchmarking dye, P1, which possesses a carboxylic acid anchor. The solution absorption spectra of PP1 and P1 are similar (PP1 has λmax = 478 nm and εmax = 62,800 dm3 mol−1 cm−1), as are the solid-state absorption spectra of the dyes adsorbed on FTO/NiO electrodes. p-Type DSCs with NiO as semiconductor and sensitized with P1 or PP1 perform comparably. For PP1, short-circuit current densities (JSC) and open-circuit voltages (VOC) for five DSCs lie between 1.11 and 1.45 mA cm−2, and 119 and 143 mV, respectively, compared to ranges of 1.55–1.80 mA cm−2 and 117–130 mV for P1. Photoconversion efficiencies with PP1 are in the range 0.054–0.069%, compared to 0.065–0.079% for P1. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, open-circuit photovoltage decay and intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy have been used to compare DSCs with P1 and PP1 in detail.

Full text

Abstract:

Although liquid electrolyte based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have shown higher photovoltaic performance in their class, they still suffer from some practical limitations such as solvent evaporation, leakage, and sealing imperfections. These problems can be circumvented to a certain extent by replacing the liquid electrolytes with quasi-solid-state electrolytes. Even though SnO2shows high election mobility when compared to the semiconductor material commonly used in DSCs, the cell performance of SnO2-based DSCs is considerably low due to high electron recombination. This recombination effect can be reduced through the use of ultrathin coating layer of ZnO on SnO2nanoparticles surface. ZnO-based DSCs also showed lower performance due to its amphoteric nature which help dissolve in slightly acidic dye solution. In this study, the effect of the composite SnO2/ZnO system was investigated. SnO2/ZnO composite DSCs showed 100% and 38% increase of efficiency compared to the pure SnO2-based and ZnO-based devices, respectively, with the gel electrolyte consisting of LiI salt.

Full text

Abstract:

The tandem pn-type dye-sensitized solar cells (pn-DSCs) have received much attention in the field of photovoltaic technologies because of their great potential to overcome the Shockley-Queisser efficiency limitation that applies to single junction photovoltaic devices. However, factors governing the short-circuit current densities (Jsc) of pn-DSC remain unclear. It is typically believed that Jsc of the pn-DSC is limited to the highest one that the two independent photoelectrodes can achieve. In this paper, however, we found that the available Jsc of pn-DSC is always determined by the larger Jsc that the photoanode can achieve but not by the smaller one in the photocathode. Such experimental findings were verified by a simplified series circuit model, which shows that a breakdown will occur on the photocathode when the photocurrent goes considerably beyond its threshold voltage, thus leading to an abrupt increase in Jsc of the circuit. The simulation results also suggest that a higher photoconversion efficiency of the pn-DSCs can be only achieved when an almost equivalent photocurrent is achieved for the two photoelectrodes.

A double-bond-edged Ru dye (code name: SG1051) has been studied as a novel sensitizing dye for ultradurable dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The SG1051 Ru dye showed the quick dye-uptake time (1 h for the optimized condition:η=9.2%, using volatile electrolyte) and the strong adsorption strength compared with standard Ru dyes (N719 and Z907), which was checked by successive dipping of dye-adsorbed nanocrystalline-TiO2electrodes into NaOH aqueous. solution and acetonitrile. The resulting DSCs using SG1051 Ru dye and ionic-liquid electrolyte survived the durability test at 120°C for 480 h, which can be the strong interest of the industrial groups.

The DSCs containing theD-1and black dye achieved a power conversion efficiency of 9.80% with higher short-circuit photocurrent of 19.54 mA/cm2compared to the system of black dye without cosensitization under standard AM 1.5 sunlight.

Abstract:

The titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiNTs) were directly prepared from commercial P25 TiO2 powder via alkali hydrothermal transformation. The fabricated nanotubes had an average outer diameter of 8–10 nm and the inner diameter of 4–6 nm with several hundred nanometers in length. The prepared nanotubes were added into TiO2 nanoporous electrodes for the fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The photoelectrochemical characteristics and dye-adsorption properties were investigated by varying the proportion of the nanotubes incorporated into TiO2 working electrodes. The electron transport resistance, electron life time, and dye adsorption properties were evaluated in terms of electrochemical impedance spectra and photovoltaic characteristics of the solar cells. Compared to DSCs based on TiO2 nanoparticles, the fill factor, open-voltage, and photocurrent based on TiNT /P25 hybrid increased significantly. High conversion efficiency of light-to-electricity of 7.41% under illumination of simulated AM 1.5 sunlight (100 mW/cm2) was achieved for DSCs using optimized proportions of TiO2 nanotubes incorporated into TiO2 electrodes. The studies provided a promising method for the development of high efficiency and low cost DSCs.

Abstract:

The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) equipped with mesocarbon microbead (MCMB)-based counter electrodes were explored to examine their cell performance. Three types of nanosized additives including platinum, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and carbon black (CB) are well dispersed and coated over microscaled MCMB powders. In the design of the counter electrodes, the MCMB graphite offers an excellent medium that allows charge transfer from the ITO substrate to the dye molecule. The active materials such as Pt, CNT, and nanosize CB act as an active site provider for the redox reaction. Among these counter electrodes, the DSCs fabricated with CB electrode exhibit the highest power conversion efficiency. This improved efficiency can be attributed to the fact that the CB nanoparticles not only offer a large number of catalytic sites but also low charge transfer resistance, facilitating a rapid reaction kinetics. Such design of carbon counter electrode has been confirmed to be a promising candidate for replacing Pt electrodes.

Abstract:

This paper proposes paint-type dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). DSCs, one type of solar cell, generally consist of a dye-attached semiconducting electrode, a metallic electrode, and an electrolyte. The DSC generates power through the excitation of the electrons in the dyes and the oxidation-reduction reaction between the dyes and the electrolyte. For our paint-type DSC, we made two electrodes by painting two types of paint on substrates. We used carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the paint material because they have both semiconducting and metallic properties. This enabled us to prepare semiconducting and metallic electrodes easily by simply painting with the CNT paint. As a result of testing, we determined that our DSCs were capable of power generation. Our paint-type DSCs have the potential to provide power as a unique and useful device for daily life in the near future.

Abstract:

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) remain an interesting photovoltaic concept, although recent times have seen their envisioned broad-scale applications being replaced with more niche ones. Nevertheless, as a key component of DSCs, titanium(IV) oxide (TiO2) must be produced in a large volume, low cost, and highly reproducible manner. Degussa P25 remains a benchmark TiO2 product, addressing the first two of the above points very well. Post-treatment processes that may also be carried out on a large scale give some hope to addressing the reproducibility issue. This paper builds on our previous works wherein mixed-phase P25 (anatase + rutile + amorphous TiO2) was converted into an amorphous free form by selectively dissolving and recrystallizing the amorphous component. Here we investigated the performance of metal-free organic dye (D149)-based DSCs with three different TiO2 films: (1) as-received P25 (TiO2-P25), (2) amorphous-free P25 (TiO2-HP25), and (3) anatase nanoparticles obtained from Dyesol (TiO2-DSL). DSCs based on TiO2-HP25 showed comparable performance (5.8 ± 0.2% PCE) to DSCs based on the TiO2-DSL (5.8 ± 0.4% PCE) and substantially higher than for devices based on the as-obtained P25 nanoparticles (3.9 ± 0.4% PCE). The enhancement resulting from the post-processing of P25 derives from simultaneous increases in photo-current density (Jsc), open-circuit voltage (VOC), and the fill factor (FF), due to enhancing the dye-loading capability and the charge-transport efficiency (suppressing the electron recombination) as a result of the removal of amorphous barriers and associated defect states. This is in line with enhancing DSC performance based on the organometallic N719 dye we reported previously. However, the photoanode material based on abundant P25 TiO2 sensitized with high-extinction-coefficient organic D149 dye can be adopted as a cost-effective DSC as an alternative to relatively high-cost DSCs based on the commercial anatase TiO2 sensitized with organometallic N719 dye.

Abstract:

Al doped SnO2microspheres were prepared through hydrothermal method. As-prepared SnO2microspheres were applied as photoanode materials in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The properties of the assembled DSCs were significantly improved, especially the open-circuit voltage. The reason for the enhancement was explored through the investigation of dark current curves and electrochemistry impedance spectra. These results showed that the Al doping significantly increased the reaction resistance of recombination reactions and restrained the dark current. The efficient lifetime of photoexcited electrons was also obviously lengthened.

Abstract:

White pigment (DuPont R902+) has been used as a light scattering material in the preparation of bilayerphotoelectrodes of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the white pigment revealed that the material consists of rutile phase of titanium dioxide. The light scattering layer prepared from the white pigment was coated onto the main-layer of the photo electrodes of DSCs. The solar cells with and without light scattering layer were tested in the simulated light of 100 mW/cm2. The DSCs with the light scattering layer generated more current density than the DSCs without scattering layer and the overall light to electric power conversion efficiency of DSCs with the light scattering layer was ~4.00 % compared with 3.25 % efficiency of the DSCs without the scattering layer.

Abstract:

TiO2 films with three-dimensional web-like structure have been prepared by the photo polymerization-induced phase separation method (PIPS). Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the as-prepared TiO2 films. The results showed that the film texture could be tuned by changing the composition of the precursor solution. The TiO2 film with web-like structure exhibited high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye. The as-prepared films were used as the photo-anodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the DSCs was significantly enhanced by changing the POGTA/TTB in the precursor solution. Because of the increased dye adsorption active sites and efficient electron transport in the TiO2 anode film, a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 3.015% was obtained.

Abstract:

The influence of pH during hydrolysis of titanium(IV) isopropoxide on the morphological and electronic properties of TiO2nanoparticles prepared by the sol-gel method is investigated and correlated to the photoelectrochemical parameters of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) based on TiO2films. Nanoparticles prepared under acid pH exhibit smaller particle size and higher surface area, which result in higher dye loadings and better short-circuit current densities than DSCs based on alkaline TiO2-processed films. On the other hand, the product of charge collection and separation quantum yields in films with TiO2obtained by alkaline hydrolysis is c.a. 27% higher than for the acid TiO2films. The combination of acid and alkaline TiO2nanoparticles as mesoporous layer in DSCs results in a synergic effect with overall efficiencies up to 6.3%, which is better than the results found for devices employing one of the nanoparticles separately. These distinct nanoparticles can be also combined by using the layer-by-layer technique (LbL) to prepare compact TiO2films applied before the mesoporous layer. DSCs employing photoanodes with 30 TiO2bilayers have shown efficiencies up to 12% higher than the nontreated photoanode ones. These results can be conveniently used to develop optimized synthetic procedures of TiO2nanoparticles for several dye-sensitized solar cell applications.

This study proposes a method for recycling and activating the titanium oxide (TiO2)/fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) photoanode in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) by repeated dye adsorption and desorption processes using various desorption agents. This simple and convenient method could be utilized to activate TiO2photoelectrodes for DSCs after the long-term operation. The devices are immersed in acidic, alkaline, and neutral media of various concentrations for desorption and then are soaked in the N719 solution again. The optimal device had an overall power conversion efficiency (AM 1.5 G, 100 mW/cm2) with 5 × 10−3 M NaOH solution as a desorption agent being 6.44% better than that of devices that had not undergone recycling and activation.
