Sensitized Solar Cells

The optimization of the photoactive electrode based on TiO2 with a complex architecture for UV dyes along with water-based electrolyte has successfully allowed us (i) to obtain a photovoltaic efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell with 1.45 times higher than the best efficiency reported for synthetic dye and 3 times for curcumin dye so far; (ii) transparency on the entire Photosynthetic Active Radiation domain; (iii) preserving high efficiency for lighting 1 sun (summer) and shading, especially for 60 mW/cm2, which represents the maximum illumination in the rest of the seasons. Our water-based dye-sensitized solar cells loaded with synthetic and natural UV dyes have revealed that the implementation of a dye-sensitized solar cell in autonomous greenhouses is a viable and inexpensive concept.

In this work, several liquid electrolytes (LE) have been prepared. The electrolytes contain tetrapropylammonium iodide (TPAI) salt with different salt content, propylene carbonate (PC), ethylene carbonate (EC), polyethylene oxide (PEO), dimethylformamide (DMF) and (I-/I3-) redox couple LE was used in the Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC). DSSCs were fabricated and current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics measured. The highest incident photon conversion efficiency (IPCE) at 520 nm is 45.5% for DSSC with 0.25 g TPAI LE. At AM 1.5, DSSC with LE exhibits efficiency of 6.61% with Jsc= 18.69 mA cm-2, Voc= 0.68V and fill factor (FF) = 0.52.

Indoline dyeD-1was successfully applied as a cosensitizer for improving the spectral response of black dye in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). It was observed thatD-1effectively increases the short-circuit photocurrent by offsetting the competitive light absorption byI/I3-electrolyte in the wavelength region 350–500 nm when adsorbed on the TiO2nanocrystaline films in a mix dye system. 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.

AbstractThis article presents the results of a research on the effects and properties of the potassium iodide additive onto the structure of the MEH-PPV polymer material, in its aspect of application in the dye-sensitized solar cell. Changes in MEH-PPV surface morphology were researched through increasing of the potassium iodide content measured by scanning electron microscope. The increased content of potassium iodide also led to increased electrical conductivity measured by the Keithley meter. The electrical properties of the dye-sensitized solar cell were also studied, in which the liquid electrolyte was replaced with a thin layer of polyelectrolyte, based on MEH-PPV and potassium iodide.
