Sensitized Solar Cells

AbstractDye sensitized solar cells are photoelectrochemical cells mimicking photosynthesis. They represent a new generation of solar cells which is intensively studied nowadays. This cell was fabricated using TiO2 nanoparticles coated on FTO glass, organic dyes as photosensitizer, PEDOT:PSS as counter electrode and iodide-triiodide as electrolyte. The present work aims at the use of low cost new organic dyes viz. biebrich scarlet, alizarine cyanine green and evans blue for DSSC as an alternative to metallic dyes. In the present work, I-V characteristics, energy or power conversion efficiencies of the dyes have been studied in different solvents. The photoelectrochemical properties of the dyes were observed under 1.5 AM condition.

Sensitized Solar Cells

ZnO is gaining importance in the electronics industry because of its availability of large sized single crystals, strong luminescence demonstrated in optically pumped lasers and the possibility of gaining control over its electrical conductivity. Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) is a photoelectrochemical system that incorporates a porous structured wide-bandgap oxide semiconductor (TiO2 or ZnO) film as the photosensitized anode that offers increased surface area for dye molecule adsorption. ZnO Nanoforest is comprised of high density, branched ZnO nanowire photoanodes. The overall light-conversion efficiency of the branched ZnO nanowire DSSCs is almost 5 times higher than the efficiency of DSSCs constructed by upstanding ZnO nanowires. The efficiency increase is due to increased surface area for higher dye loading and light harvesting, and also due to reduced charge recombination phenomena by providing direct conduction pathways along the crystalline ZnO nanoforest.
