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.

AbstractThe descriptive scattering parameters, haze and angular distribution functions of textured ZnO:Al transparent conductive oxides with different surface roughness are measured. An approach to determine the scattering parameters of all internal interfaces in p-i-n a-Si:H solar cells deposited on the glass/ZnO:Al substrates is presented. Using the determined scattering parameters as the input parameters of the optical model, a good agreement between the measured and simulated quantum efficiencies of the p-i-n a-Si:H solar cells with different interface roughness is achieved.

AbstractMapping Low Angle Light Scattering method (MLALS) is proposed to study defect structure in materials used for solar cell production. Several types of defects are observed in Czochralski Si1−xGex (0.022<x<0.047) single crystals. Recombination activity of these defects is investigated. The possibility of contactless visualisation of grain boundary recombination in polysilicon is also demonstrated.
