Sensitized Solar Cells

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been developed as a promising photovoltaic cell type in recent decades because of their low cost, environmental friendliness, ease of fabrication, and suitability for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications, especially under diverse shaded and low-light condition. They are typically composed of three main components: a transparent conducting oxide (TCO) substrate-based working electrode with wide-bandgap semiconductors and dye sensitizer molecules, an electrolytic mediator based on redox couple species, and a TCO-based counter electrode consisting of catalyst materials. The development of intrinsic and functional organic, inorganic, metal oxide, composite, and carbon-based materials has been intensively studied to enhance the efficiency of DSSCs. A simple and low-cost fabrication process that uses natural products is also considered essential for further large-scale production. In this article, we review the fabrication of various functional materials and their effects on DSSC performance.

This research aims to develop a new type of electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) which can be produced in cost-effective and large scale. DSCs using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) mixed with ethanol (50% w/w DES content), as an electrolyte medium, was studied herein for the first time. Ten types of DESs were synthesized and three among them were potential candidates for DSC electrolytes. Compared to toxic and volatile organic solvents, this mixed solvent is more eco-friendly and inexpensive. According to J-V curve measurements, DSCs that used DES-ethanol medium showed promising photovoltaic performance.

Abstract In the last two decades, dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have gotten a lot of attention from researchers and have progressed quickly. To promote commercialization and large-scale application of DSSCs, their efficiency should be increased. This paper details significant advancements in advanced NiMoS3/BC nanocomposites for improving photoanodes and DSSC conversion efficiencies. The fabricated electrode samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, Raman, UV, PL and BET to explore the structural, morphological and optical properties. A significant reduction band gap with enhanced light absorption and rapid prevention of electron hole pair was explored by UV-DRS and PL studies. The photocurrent density-voltage (J-V) and IPCE characteristics were analyzed for assembled solar cell. The NiMoS3/BC (NMSC5) nanocomposite DSSC showed a PCE of 8.85%, far higher than that of the NiMoS3 (2.45%) and a PCE value equivalent to Pt CE (4.79 %). The enhanced PCE of the proposed electrodes are also discussed in scientifically.
